rust_extern_with_linkage___dso_handle+0x0): undefined reference to `__dso_handle'

I tried this code:

Trying to cross compile (from aarch64 to x86_86 on linux)

I expected to see this happen: explanation

The software compiled correctly.

Instead, this happened: explanation

The linker failed on trying to link Rust's libstd.

rustc --version --verbose:

<backtrace>

This does work correctly on rust 1.74.0 on the same system. I have been unable to test other versions yet, nor create a self-contained example.

The build command for this is:

RUSTFLAGS="-Clinker=/usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin/ld -L/lib/gcc-cross/x86_64-linux-gnu/12 -L/lib/gcc-cross/x86_64-linux-gnu/11" PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/usr/x86_64-linux-gnu CC=clang cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Start by reproducing the provided cargo build command on the aarch64-to-x86_64 setup and compare Rust 1.74.0 with 1.81. Inspect the libstd linker invocation and the reported __dso_handle reference, using verbose linker arguments to narrow the regression. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and a validated fix or regression test.
