Builds on #920

This was working for me on both master and master-next until the recent Rust upgrade [1]:

Can you try adding the patch from
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/23d818d3c7fba4658248f17fd7b8993199242aa9.patch
?

It looks like it has landed in the new stable chromium 141.0.7390.43.

That did it. This PR works for now with these upstream SHAs:

Hi @zboszor ,

I'm running into this error with your changes. Any idea on how to fix this ?

same issue as @neenareddi when cross compiling for ARM64 target.
Using a modified/updated variant of the old "0008-Use-the-correct-path-to-libclang_rt.builtins.a.patch" dident seem to resolve the issue in my case, the problem probably lies deeper.

Take a look at this discussion: #930 @neenareddi @anon3137

Hi @otavio
I'm not sure if this is the right fix but this workaround fixed the above issue for me for ARM64 target. I was able to build successfully after this change.

@neenareddi your workaround works for me too. Thanks

I will test your change on my x86-64 build and commit it if it works.
