Cross-compiling x86 shared library to ARM architecture - c

Question

I have been trying to cross compile x86 GNU scientific library to ARM architecture for execution on my Cyclone V FPGA, after getting errors regarding libgsl.so: File format not recognised. I have went to the gsl-2.4 directory, and ran ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/usr/local/arm-linux this seems to work, and create makefiles:
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
checking for arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc... arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
...
...
config.status: creating utils/Makefile
config.status: creating vector/Makefile
config.status: creating wavelet/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
However, when I then run make after some time the command halts with the following error:
.libs/sasum.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:679: recipe for target 'libgslcblas.la' failed
make[2]: *** [libgslcblas.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/gsl-2.4/cblas'
Makefile:961: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/gsl-2.4'
Makefile:663: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
I have tried using other tool chains like arm-linux-gnueabihf with similar results. Has anyone get any ideas on why these errors may be occuring, or just how I can finally get this GSL library compiled for ARM architectures!
Thanks in advance
