[Buildroot] generated shared libraries are not ARM but Intel - why ?

  This is very strange.

  Can you check the top of the .config file to make sure that you indeed
have an ARM configuration?

  You didn't, by any chance, compile first and only changed the architecture
to ARM afterwards?  buildroot doesn't automatically detect when the
configuration has changed in an incompatible way, and the default architecture
is i386.  So you may still be using a toolchain for i386 even if you reconfigured
for ARM.  To be sure, remove the output directory (or run 'make clean').

  If all that fails, can you post the defconfig?  Run 'make savedefconfig' and it
is saved in the file 'defconfig'.
