Ah, so you are requesting external functions. I am no aarch64 expert, but apparently there were some problems in GCC 11, maybe that is what you saw? Or with some distros, anyway. It also matters if you have ARMv8.1-A enabled, the LSE instructions. Open a GCC bug report if you have more details? Thanks, Segher
