Hi Jocelyn,

Apologies for reviving this old thread, but I'm still encountering
the same issue with the latest master (78f4e737a53e).

When compiling this module for ARM32 (multi_v7_defconfig),
I get the following error:

    ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __aeabi_uldivmod
    >>> referenced by drm_panic_qr.rs:392 (drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs:392)
    >>>               drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.o:(<drm_panic_qr::SegmentIterator as core::iter::traits::iterator::Iterator>::next) in archive vmlinux.a
    >>> referenced by drm_panic_qr.rs:392 (drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs:392)
    >>>               drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.o:(<drm_panic_qr::SegmentIterator as core::iter::traits::iterator::Iterator>::next) in archive vmlinux.a
    >>> referenced by drm_panic_qr.rs:392 (drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs:392)
    >>>               drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.o:(<drm_panic_qr::SegmentIterator as core::iter::traits::iterator::Iterator>::next) in archive vmlinux.a
    >>> referenced 14 more times
    >>> did you mean: __aeabi_uidivmod
    >>> defined in: vmlinux.a(arch/arm/lib/lib1funcs.o)

Since no one else has reported this in two months, I’m wondering
if this might be a configuration issue on my end.

Thanks a lot!
