[erlang-questions] Erlang on 64-bit ARM?

[Frank Hunleth]

I was wondering if anyone uses Erlang on a 64-bit ARM platform
(aarch64)? The Buildroot project's CI servers are throwing linker
errors such as the following:

 LD /home/buildroot/autobuild/run/instance-0/output/build/erlang-17.5/bin/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/child_setup
 AR /home/buildroot/autobuild/run/instance-0/output/build/erlang-17.5/erts/emulator/pcre/obj/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/opt/libepcre.a

See http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/0cd/0cd22eb74fa29e5a85bf897762e16ab3daf33962/build-end.log
for all of the error messages.

I was able to reproduce the same errors on the 18.2.1 release as well.
Possibly confounding the situation is that Buildroot crosscompiles
Erlang. However, Erlang builds fine on all other platforms supported
by Buildroot, and my attempt at reading the atomic intrinsics code was
leading me down the path that aarch64 may not be supported. Could
somewhere verify whether this is the case?

Thanks,
