[lttng-dev] Syntax error running lttng

[Jonathan Rajotte-Julien]

Hi,

Side note: not sure what is wrong with my email setup or the mailing list but I
cannot see the reply you sent in my email folder, but it is available here: 

https://lists.lttng.org/pipermail/lttng-dev/2021-June/030021.html

In any case, this look strangely like the problem seen in [1][2]. Considering
your cross compilation setup I would take a deeper look at the generated
executable both locally and when on the device.
The `file` command is a must here I think.

[2] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/499641/syntax-error-unexpected-when-execute-a-cross-compiled-pjsip-binary-in-arm

Not sure if this is exactly your problem. `strace` might give a bit more info
on what is going on and at least see if the problem is lttng or anything else. 

Cheers
