I think I posted to libc-alpha about this... or else I meant to.

I've never found the OUTPUT_FORMAT line to be necessary; I simply
delete it in my local builds.  But that error is, IIRC, the result of
some minor misconfiguration in the ARM tools.  Yeah, I know, that's not
a useful answer - but damned if I can remember what the problem was.
