Yes, that's right.

It really does.

You get that error if you have a mismatch between the assembly and
the assembler.

No. As the error very clearly states the "eor" instruction is unknown.

eor is a 64-bit x86 instruction, so clearly the header file is for
x86_64, meaning that the assembler is for ARM.

The way that can happen is, as I wrote above, that the poster isn't
building against a cross-compiled libosmocore.

I think it would be useful if you sent some patches to improve the
osmocom-bb build system. Thank you!
