   Adding another data point: same issue on linux.aarch64 (Raspberry Pi 5), not just armv7.

   Environment

   • Host: x86_64, Docker python:3.13-bookworm, Python 3.13.12
   • Target: Raspberry Pi 5, Debian Trixie (13), Python 3.13.5, aarch64
   • PyArmor: 9.2.4, Group license
   • pyarmor.cli.core: 8.1.0

   Findings

   I narrowed it down to specific Python patterns. Simple functions work fine with RFT cross-compilation — the crash only happens with type annotations:

   Pattern	--enable-rft --platform linux.aarch64	Result on Pi 5
   def hello(): return "world"	OK	Imports fine, function renamed to pyarmor__1
   async def check(): return True	OK	Works
   import logging; logging.getLogger(__name__)	OK	Works
   def deco(f): async def w(*a,**k): return await f(*a,**k); return w	OK	Works
   from dataclasses import dataclass; @dataclass class Info: name: str	SEGV	Segmentation fault on import
   from typing import Optional; _cache: Optional[str] = None	SEGV	Segmentation fault on import

   The pyarmor_runtime.so loads correctly — the crash is in the __pyarmor__() call processing the RFT-obfuscated bytecode.

   Without --enable-rft, all modules (including dataclass/typing) work perfectly with --platform linux.aarch64.

   Minimal reproduction

   # test_crash.py
   from dataclasses import dataclass
   
   @dataclass
   class Info:
       name: str
       valid: bool

   # On x86_64 host:
   pyarmor gen --platform linux.aarch64 --enable-rft --output out/ test_crash.py
   
   # On Pi 5 (aarch64):
   cd out && python3 -c "import test_crash"
   # Segmentation fault (exit code 139)

   Will try the rft_simple_import=1 workaround next.

   For linux.aarch64 with Python 3.13 issue, it has been fixed. Please upgrade the following packages:

   • pyarmor.cli.core: 8.1.1+
   • pyarmor.cli.core.linux: 8.1.1+ (only required by cross-platform building)
