According to Eric, the toolchain is based on gcc 4.3.2, which is really
old, and one may assume that the kernel headers and C library used in
this toolchain are also quite old. Indeed, building the latest version
of some userspace programs is going to be problematic with very old
toolchains.

Eric, I would suggest to update your toolchain. I believe both
Buildroot and Crosstool-NG should be capable of generating toolchains
for your platform.

Best regards,

Thomas
