unrecognised emulation mode: llvm

[jimafisk]

When implementing the Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade, after creating my osxcross target, using it to build the Plenti binary like: env GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=/home/runner/work/osxcross/target/bin/o64-clang CXX=/home/runner/work/osxcross/target/bin/o64-clang++ go build -ldflags -s

Would throw:

I thought this might have been because I initially created my "build" assets in ~/Downloads then later transferred it to /home/runner/work/osxcross/build so it would be in the right place for this project. I removed the build folder (rm -R build) and re-ran ./tools/gen_sdk_package_pbzx.sh Xcode_16.1.xip to recreate it and then reran ./build.sh but still have the same issue. I've also added sudo apt-get install build-essential per plentico/plenti#348.

In doing some research, it seemed like the problem is the system /usr/bin/ld is being used instead the target's: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54406361/ld-unrecognised-emulation-mode-aarch64linux/59051498

Running the following in my terminal per tpoechtrager/osxcross#420 seems to have fixed this issue:

export PATH=/home/runner/work/osxcross/target/bin:$PATH
