[armv7 linux build] Cross compile fail on graphene: build/dist/linux_armv7/lib/libgobject-2.0.so: undefined reference to `ffi_type_void'
I am trying to cross compile gstreamer for Hisi3516D, which is an armv7 architecture device, with cerbero. I have setup my environment variable linked to the toolchain. But the build process failed at building graphene. Its output log indicated that it seemed like libffi had some problems. I had tried to export LIBFFI_LIBS and LIBFFI_CFLAGS but things did not go well. The build process error log is listed as follow.
$ cerbero -c $HOME/cerbero/config/cross-lin-arm.cbc package gstreamer-1.0
