Not directly - but chatting with James Simmons at LUG this year gave me
confidence that the client from Lustre Master compiled just fine. It
might be helpful to share which version of the client you're compiling
and on which platform and kernel.

As an alternative, OpenHPC provide an AArch64 pre-built Lustre client
(v2.8) for CentOS7:
