Answer 1

If tool chain path is properly exported then your problem is related to 32 and 64 bit mismatch.Perhaps you are trying to run 32 bit executable on 64 bit PC.

you should install the package "ia32-libs"

Answer 2

I had the same issue. I followed this link and I changed this:

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- TARGET 

to:

export CROSS_COMPILE=/full path/arm-linux-eabi- TARGET 
make

And it worked for me.

Answer 3

Maybe tool-chain is not right set. After edit /etc/profile, you should execute the commond:source /etc/profile. Or, after install the tool-chain, before doing make, execute: export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- After that, doing make

Answer 4

If you happen to meet this error when you did install the toolchain such as arm-eabi-gcc, arm-eabi-g++, you can set the full path of toochain like this.

export CROSS_COMPILE=/full path/arm-linux-eabi-

The full path depends on your enviornment on above.
