Cross Compile Issue

[EilatannataliE]

The specific issue we are having is as follows.

Using the NI  Linux Real Time Cross Compile Toolchain with Visual Studio Code, setup from the below link, we are generating build files for our drivers.
https://nilrt-docs.ni.com/cross_compile/cross_compile_index.html

Then we compile them with Ninja using gcc and g++
At this point the linking fails and we get several errors like the following line.

c:/build/9.2/x64/sysroots/x86_64-w64-mingw32/usr/bin/x86_64-nilrt-linux/../../libexec/x86_64-nilrt-linux/gcc/x86_64-nilrt-linux/10.3.0/real-ld.exe: C:/Program Files/IVI Foundation/IVI/Lib_x64/msc/nidcpower.lib(objects/win64U/x64/msvc14/release/msvc/glu32.obj):(.text$mn+0x3608): undefined reference to `__imp_WaitForSingleObject'

Full error output:
