foo-linux contains files built on a Linux (CentOS 6) system, via:
# in foo-linux, on a Linux system (or in a Linux container)
gcc -c ../foo.c -o foo.o
ar cr libfoo.a foo.o
foo-mac contains files built on Mac OS X Catalina, but starting from the Linux archive (which is super weird and probably shouldn't work):
# in foo-mac, on OS X Catalina
cp ../foo-linux/libfoo.a .
clang -c ../foo.c -o foo.o
ar cr libfoo.a foo.o
Now trying to compile the Rust crate which tries to link foo-mac/libfoo.a ICEs:
