Hey Andrew,

Thanks a lot for getting back to me. No I am not. Let me clarify the
context here:

1. On my Ubuntu (x86-64 version), I use x86 gcc (version 10.0) to
compile this plugin, and test this plugin on various programs' GIMPLE code
during its compilation with x86 gcc (version 10.0).

2. Then, I switched to use arm-none-eabi-gcc to load this plugin, and
encountered the above issue.

3. Since I am doing a cross-platform compilation (on Ubuntu x86), I am
anticipating to NOT directly compile my plugin (as a typical .so shared
library) into an ARM library, right? Otherwise it cannot be loaded and
executed on x86 Ubuntu, right?

4. Then it seems to me that still, the proper way is to compile a x86
plugin, and then somewhat use the arm-none-eabi-gcc to load the plugin
during cross architecture compilation?

Best,
Shuai
