[Buildroot] Need help with cross-compiler configuration

[Aseem Sharma]

Hi,

I am naive to buildroot & processor world trying to compile
"buildroot-2017.02.5" for "Marvell ARM Armada 166E processor (compatible to
ARMv5TE instruction-set)" based old system.

I compiled the buildroot (kernel, rootfs & cross-compiler) by setting arm926t
(little-endian) as target arch/variant as suggested by Arnout/Baruch in
response to my old query. However, now I am having trouble booting the
system with the new buildroot created zImage. I do not seem to get any
output/log on the system screen after flashing this new image onto the
system.

To verify if the buildroot is configured correctly for my system, I tried
to create a helloWorld program using the buildroot internal cross-compiler
and then tried to run it on the arm based system (running old 2005
buildroot release). Following is the exact error message that I observe:
*hello.c on Host:*

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   printf("Hello, World!");
   return 0;
}

*Command Line used to Compile on Host:*

sudo /home/administrator/Downloads/buildroot_2017/buildroot-2017.0
2.5/output/host/usr/bin/arm-linux-gcc --sysroot=/home/administrator/
Downloads/buildroot_2017/buildroot-2017.02.5/output/staging -o test hello.c

*Screen Output on Target:*

*# *./test
*./test: line 1: syntax error: unexpected ")"*
*#*
*#* cat ./test | more   *                              ------->  Just to
prove its not a shell script!*

*Please let me know if I am missing something. *

Thanks in advance.
