[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

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:
