Hi,

I had changed my compiler options earlier so that it would compile and produce output for ARM but now i want to change it back so that i can get the executable for normal linux, I am facing problem, please help me out... it say
-bash: ./a.out: cannot execute binary file
When i had a look at the ELF it said


ELF Header:

can someone help so that the files get compiled for linux
I am using fedora 9.

Given that we do not know what you changed to support cross-compiling to ARM, it is difficult to give precise information. Perhaps the easiest way would be to remove and re-install gcc using yum.

If you want to do it by hand, you probably need to remove the --target option from gcc configuration, and reinstall the correct bintools and GNU assembler for Fedora 9 and point to the correct crt0 unless you used newlib.

well thanks for the help i got the problem and corrected it. Well re installation was my last option.
