Hey guys - I'm trying cross compile into aarch64-unknown-linux. The problem is the bindings seem to expect *mut u8, and are receiving an i8 reference.

Specifically the issue seems to be here in the modified base metadata.

           let mut canonical: i8 = 0; 
        
           let ret = hts_sys::bam_mods_query_type( 
        
               self.state, 
        
               code, 
        
               &mut strand, 
        
               &mut implicit, 
        
               &mut canonical, 
        
           );

Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm cross compiling using an altered version of docker/cross

https://github.com/rust-cross/manylinux-cross/pkgs/container/manylinux_2_28-cross. I'm creating a .so to use with a PyO3 package.

Many Thanks
Rory

	let mut canonical: i8 = 0;

	let ret = hts_sys::bam_mods_query_type(
	self.state,
	code,
	&mut strand,
	&mut implicit,
	&mut canonical,
	);
