Fixing rust to support compiling libraries for use with Catalyst (Dec 2022)

The problem is that rustc emits synthetic libraries (symbols.o and lib.rmeta) which Apple's ld then chokes on when targetting aarch64-apple-ios-macabi, as they lack an LC_BUILD_VERSION load command to identify them as being intended for use with Catalyst.

The errors produced look like:

ld: in /Users/matthew/workspace/matrix-rust-sdk/target/aarch64-apple-ios-macabi/dbg/deps/libstatic_assertions-fdafb4b8ba800a8a.rlib(lib.rmeta), building for Mac Catalyst, but linking in object file built for , file '/Users/matthew/workspace/matrix-rust-sdk/target/aarch64-apple-ios-macabi/dbg/deps/libstatic_assertions-fdafb4b8ba800a8a.rlib' for architecture arm64

What the Heck is a Monad, Anyway?

Querying one's favorite search engine with the text "a monad is" yields this answer on StackOverflow, which explains, in excruciating mathematical symbology, what a monad in fact is. But, don't worry. Understanding monads doesn't require you to learn the nuances of such concepts as moirails and eigenfunctors. I would suggest that the concept of monads can be distilled into a clearer single sentence.

A monad is a control abstraction that defines a composition of effectful functions.

Let's unpack.

You might want to read this to get an introduction to armel vs armhf.

If the below is too much, you can try Ubuntu-ARMv7-Qemu but note it contains non-free blobs.

Running ARM programs under linux (without starting QEMU VM!)

First, cross-compile user programs with GCC-ARM toolchain. Then install qemu-arm-static so that you can run ARM executables directly on linux
