Cross Compiling for a Rockchip SoC

Question

I'm trying to cross compile a 'hello world' program for an RK3128 SoC that I believe is running linux. The program should power the device off by running the poweroff -f command.

I have confirmed that the poweroff -f command when run from a bash script will turn off the device. Now I would like to do this in a C program.

    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        system("poweroff -f");
        return 0;
    }

I compiled this program for my AMD machine and it worked however, when I changed the compiler settings to target the RK3128 ARM-based SoC, this program did not work.

I used the command below to cross compile my poweroff script for the RK3128:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --sysroot=[path to dumped filesystem from RK3128] -isysroot / main.c -o program -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -fPIC -march=armv7-a -v

What settings and or compiler can I use to do this successfully?

NOTE: The RK3128 is located on a mini console featured in a modding article. I do not have terminal access or serial access so my only means of debugging is seeing the screen power off.

If needed here's the output of readelf -A game where game is a functioning program stored on the RK3128
