libwasmvm_muslc.aarch64.a cannot be linked

[webmaster128]

wasmvm v1.0.0-beta8 adds a libwasmvm_muslc.aarch64.a from cross compile setup (#305).

Unfortunately when trying to link this to wasmd, I get the following error:

#21 31.57 # github.com/CosmWasm/wasmvm/api
#21 31.57 /lib/../lib/libwasmvm_muslc.a(sigsetjmp.lo): in function `sigsetjmp':
#21 31.57 (.text+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CONDBR19 against symbol `setjmp' defined in .text section in /lib/../lib/libwasmvm_muslc.a(setjmp.lo)
#21 31.57 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
#21 46.04 make: *** [Makefile:82: build] Error 2

I don't know what this means and everything I find deals with assembly code I don't understand.

Got the same errors roughly a month ago using a Dockerized muslc arm64 build on my M1 Mac

Gave up after a couple of days and switched to the .so artifact, but before that I experimented with various suggestions and linker flags from this thread:

Maybe you can make more sense of it 😄

I think I will do #277 first, hoping the error will resolve by upgrading the compiler.

[webmaster128]

Upgrading Rust (#277) solved the problem. I have a statically linked musl binary for Linux now that runs fine in a docker container on an M1 mac.

Shipped as part of v1.0.0-beta9 and it is working.

Amazing! Great work @webmaster128
