Description
The Nintendo DS port is compiled as Thumb code, and links with an ARM build of Newlib. However, the ELF loader doesn't properly handle relocations where ARM code in the plugin is called from Thumb code, which results in a crash due to the program counter jumping to an invalid address.

The workaround isn’t a permanent solution - a proper solution would be to handle the necessary relocations correctly in the ELF loader.

PR 5197 has a workaround to allow v2.7.1 to be released, but this should be fixed before v2.8.0 release:
