I'm using very same toolchain, and I get as 64-bit AArch64 library as it
can possibly get. Though truth be told I'm using it with scratchbox,
which means that I let "somebody else" pass compiler flags such as
-isystem --sysroot, as well as additional -I and -L. However I can
confirm that scratchbox doesn't pass any magic flags that tell it to
generate 64-bit module. On the contrary, I can confirm that 64-bit code
generation is default one, and it is 32-bit code generation that takes
additional flag, -mabi=ilp32. (Though I don't have ilp32 libraries to
link with, so I never actually build linux-arm64ilp32 for myself.)
Bottom line is that there is no evidence that it's not a problem
specific to your setup, which in turn means that you would have to be
the one to figure it out. Sorry...
