Hey @hsam,

This error can happen on Linux if `journalbeat` is built without cgo, though in your case it seems that you are compiling with cgo enabled 🤔

Could you try to build journalbeat with this command?

```auto
PLATFORMS="+all linux/arm64" mage crossBuild

```

If this command works you will find the results in `build/golang-crossbuild`.

You can build whole packages with the following command:

```auto
PLATFORMS="+all linux/arm64" mage package

```

Built packages can be found in `build/distributions`.
