[Buildroot] Error:"Staging_dir/lib/libc.so.0: could not read symbols:file in wrong format" while "make" buildroot with xscale, gcc-4.2.3

I have struggled with this problem for few days. Actually I found a similar
subject in

http://busybox.net/lists/buildroot/2007-October/005854.html

However, I checked the mentioned patch in that thread, it actually applied to
the gcc-4.2.3. Unfortunately, the issue wasn't be solved. Moreover, I couldn't
find further useful info regarding to this problem. I really appreciate if
anyone could tell me the solution. If any further log or info could help to
diagnose this issue,please don't hesitate to ask me. Thank you very much in
advance.

Try performing the last failing operation again (move to the correct
directory and copy the last command from the console window, then execute
it)
while also inserting the --verbose flag (or whatever the verbose flag is).
This may give you a few more clues.

The same error message appeared again as following while I executed "make" after
"make menuconfig"

/home/user/workspace/MFSP/uCroot/buildroot/build_armeb/staging_dir/lib/libc.so.0:

I am using the following packages to build the tool-chain:

kernel 2.6.24
uClibc 0.9.29
binutils 2.18
gcc 4.2.3

So can you run "file" on the libc.so.0? It should say 32-bit ARM MSB.

I'm using gcc 4.1.x here. I couldn't get 4.2.3 built successfully for
armeb, but that was months ago and it might be fixed by now. Also I'm
still using OABI rather than EABI because I couldn't get the latter
compiled either.

Unless you really need 4.2.x you could try the older version.
