commit 949ed7aae1e9418ea99f569efe6cb03349485508
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
AuthorDate: Sun Jul 4 22:10:06 2021 +0200

    gnu: glibc: Fix cross-compilation to aarch64-linux-gnu.
    
    Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/49113>.
    Reported by Maxime Devos <maximedevos@telenet.be>.
    
    Previously, the cross-compiled libc.so linker script would read:
    
      OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-little)
    
    instead of:
    
      OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-littleaarch64)
    
    This is because glibc 2.33 runs "objdump -f" instead of
    "aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -f" to determine the output format.
    
    * gnu/packages/patches/glibc-cross-objdump.patch: New file.
    * gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
    * gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[source]: Use it.
