The customer found that a possible workaround is to create a symbolic-link of {*}_giscanner.cpython-39-x86_64-{*}[*linux-gnu.so*  (http://linux-gnu.so/)named {*}_giscanner.{*}{*}cpython-39-aarch64-linux-gnu.so (https://cpython-39-aarch64-linux-gnu.so/){*}

The customer is just changing the x86-64 for aarch64, so it looks like there it is a naming issue during the ARM cross compile of gobject-introspection package as the binary is correctly compiled as ARM but named as x86_64, *_giscanner.cpython* is part of the package gobject-introspection.

Using the following commands we can find that the package *_giscanner.cpython* is built for ARM but the name is with x86_64

rpm2cpio gobject-introspection-1.66.1-r0.cortexa57.rpm | cpio -i

file usr/lib64/gobject-introspection/giscanner/_giscanner.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so  
because gives the following output.

usr/lib64/gobject-introspection/giscanner/_giscanner.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=8023ed2296fbe070976127316fb87ebcb41486fb, stripped 
 

Workaround

create a symbolic-link of {*}_giscanner.cpython-39-x86_64-{*}*linux-gnu.so*  (http://linux-gnu.so/)named {*}_giscanner.{*}{*}cpython-39-aarch64-linux-gnu.so (https://cpython-39-aarch64-linux-gnu.so/){*}
