little late, but this Q. seems to be still alive.

You probably want to use other toolchans:

gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi for SW floating point support, or gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf for HW floating point support.

These are designed for cross compilation from Linux @ Intel HW to Linux @ ARM HW

Get them on UBUNTU:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

Manually download tool chains: https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads Documentation: https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/GNU%20Toolchain

You are using a compiler that is configured to produce bare metal executables, i.e. ones that run on a system without an operating system, to compile a program that runs on Linux. That's not going to work, at least not without a lot of extra porting effort.

You should use a cross-compiler toolchain, with headers and libraries that support your target operating system.
