 You're trying to use the cross-compiled binary directly on your host.
This may work by accident, but may not work as well. In this particular
case, I suspect it may be an issue with kernel headers: the cross-build
is using 3.13.x while your host is probably running an earlier kernel.

 Try running it under a system qemu so you have the corresponding kernel,
or build the toolchain with kernel headers corresponding to your host.
