PackageCompiler error creating sysimage

General Usage
#1

Hello,

I’m having issues using PackageCompiler on a Linux on aarch64(nVidia Jetson TX2) machine. Running through the basic example from the documentation causes this error.

julia> create_sysimage(["Example"]; sysimage_path="ExampleSysimage.so")
⣠ [01m:01s] PackageCompiler: compiling incremental system imagefatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

I’m not sure if it’s related to this ARM CPU JIT issue https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/41852 but seems similar to the create_app issue although it’s coming from different location…
