I put a Makefile together to compile iozone. The build is successful for x86/64 but ld is returning errors when I build for an ARM target. Any thoughts to fix the build are welcome.

Note that the linux-arm above needs to be changed to linux-AMD64 if building for x86/64.
Here is the build log for bcm27xx/bcm2712
For reference, here is the successful build for x86/64
As a test, I compiled iozone on Arch ARM 64-bit using make -j1 linux-arm and it completed without error and the resulting executable ran just fine.
EDIT: even if I modify the upstream makefile to not build fileop_linux-arm.o, the resulting executable that gets compiled will not run on the OpenWrt device.

It's like the host is compiling the code, not the cross compiler.
EDIT2: yes, that is what's happening.
