What do you get if you run "file" on your libc.so.6 (or the real file
if that's a symlink)?

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What happens if you do this? Or if you set CFLAGS as per the Makefile
you quoted in a previous message:

       IXP425_FLAGS := -mcpu=strongarm -mbig-endian -mtune=xscale
       CFLAGS += $(IXP425_FLAGS)
       LDFLAGS += $(IXP425_FLAGS)

It seems the default output for your toolchain is little endian,
whereas the other binaries are big endian.
