yes. That very old familiar handhelds distro is the old ARM ABI.
arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain is new arm EABI. That are not compatible.

This is 'arm-linux-gnu-gcc' in new nomenclature. We still have that
toolchain for lenny, although an older one (2.95 vintage) might well suit
your distro better, as a toolchain implies a glibc version and you may
still have compatibility issues using gcc-4.1 to make binaries fro
handhelds familiar. We have been doing that for a long time using etch
toolchains and it largely works although libgcc1 versiosing can be
tiresome (you need to force-install things, but they still work).

Indeed, it has been renamed to arm-linux-gnu-gcc.
