It certainly does build for armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf. But then, only iOS
defines FFI_EXEC_TRAMPOLINE_TABLE, wherein the trouble lies.
The development process relies on those having access to proprietary operating
systems fixing the problems that arise on those systems. I don't have access
to iOS.
That said, the problem appears to be trivial. Please try the following.
