Thanks for the report! I'll see if I can fix this next week.

Tried it on my Pi Zero and can confirm the issue. This sounds like a compilation issue, so I've tried to cross-compile a simple Hello World C program, but to my surprise, neither the GCC provided by the distro (tested with 9.3), nor ARM's own toolchains (tested with 8.3-2019.03 and 10.2-2020.11) could compile a working binary: every time the program crashed with illegal instruction or segmentation fault too.

Without a working compiler I can't build a working Pegasus either. I'll see if I can make a custom GCC.

I ran into this exact same issue trying to run Pegasus on the Pi Zero. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Just for future reference, here are the methods I've tried so far:

• Tested the cross compilers available from Ubuntu 20.04 repos (GCC 8, 9, 10)
• Tested the official ARM compilers (GCC 10.2-2020.11)
• Compiled GCC from source

Unfortunately, while all of them could compile a basic "Hello World" program, none of the created executables work on the actual Pi Zero hardware.
