My guess is that it's using the wrong host tools to build with considering that their is an "R_X86_64_32" relocation in the output, which I would imagine is x86_64 ELF format. Perhaps also a bug in the toolchain as well. I just built on aarch64 host following your steps and it worked correctly. Could you provide details of your build machine?
