I've downloaded and checked out this toolkit, and the problem is
caused by the original toolkit builder's configure settings.  He
configured glibc with --prefix="/usr/local/xscale/3.3.3", which causes
all references to the dynamic linker in produced executables to point
to

  /usr/local/xscale/3.3.3/lib/ld-linux.so.2

instead of

  /lib/ld-linux.so.2

Therefore, any dynamically linked executable will be unable to find
the linker, and thus the shared libraries it needs.  You might be able
to hack around this by placing a symlink from /usr/local/xscale/3.3.3
to the root of your filesystem, but that's quite "unclean". :)

In any case, this toolkit should be recompiled in the proper manner,
preferably with crosstool <http://kegel.com/crosstool/>.  If I have
some time I might be able to put up a good copy somewhere...
