  • Analyzed issue [BUG] Failed to build blazesym #148: blazesym build failure on aarch64 Ubuntu 20.04
  • Identified root cause: linker script too aggressively discards sections including .got.plt
  • Investigated existing workarounds and features in blazesym
  • Fixed linker script to avoid discarding essential sections on aarch64
  • Improved build.rs error handling to provide better warnings
  • Tested workaround with dont-generate-test-files feature
  • Created comprehensive documentation with multiple workaround options
  • Updated main README to reference workaround documentation
  • Verified that tutorial examples already use the workaround correctly

Summary

The issue has been thoroughly analyzed and documented. The repository already contains working examples that use the dont-generate-test-files feature flag to work around the ARM64 linker issue. The solution provides:

  1. Immediate workaround: Use cargo build --features=cheader,dont-generate-test-files
  2. Working examples: All blazesym-using examples in the repo already implement this
  3. Comprehensive documentation: Detailed guide for users encountering this issue
  4. Multiple options: Several alternative solutions depending on use case

The core functionality of blazesym and the tutorial examples remain fully functional on ARM64 platforms.
