Hello, Packer is still broken due to the ABI changes. AFAIK the patch that was supposed to fix this does nothing to address use of the ABI in the builders. Since then, there have also been some patches upstream (as Matt had mentioned) to resolve the fallout due to the change:

Can we please look into this and do what's needed so that it's ready for the release? Thanks, JD
