Hi,
I can reproduce it using the (x86_64 hosted) crosstool gcc-12.1.0 from kernel.org that Arnd builds/provides.
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/


I expect it's a matter of gcc not being built for the right target, but that's just a guess
on my part. I know nothing about configuring gcc for arch. targets.
