Makefile Linker unable to find functions in static library - c

Question

sorry for this question that may seem trivial, but I looked at a few tutorials and SO questions and still could not figure out what is wrong.
Anyway, when using gcc, the linker is not able to find functions in the static library I have included.
Error message:
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I. -I./include yuv.c -c -o yuv.o
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I. -I./include main.c -c -o main.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [grab.elf] Error 1
My file structure is as follows:
Makefile
main.c
In Folder lib
libjpeg.a
My Makefile reads:
GCC=gcc
INC_PATH= -I. -I./include
LIBS_PATH = -L./lib
HEADER_FILE=./yuv.h ./include/jpeglib.h
grab.elf: yuv.o main.o
$(CROSS_COMPILE)$(GCC) $(LIBS_PATH) $(INC_PATH) yuv.o main.o -lpthread -lrt -ljpeg -o grab.elf
yuv.o:yuv.c $(HEADER_FILE)
$(CROSS_COMPILE)$(GCC) $(INC_PATH) yuv.c -c -o yuv.o
main.o:main.c $(HEADER_FILE)
$(CROSS_COMPILE)$(GCC) $(INC_PATH) main.c -c -o main.o
I also tried:
nm libjpeg.a | grep jpeg_std
000001f0 T _jpeg_stdio_dest
00000140 T _jpeg_stdio_src
000001f0 T _jpeg_std_error
000012c0 R _jpeg_std_message_table
Would any kind soul care to help me? Thank you.

Could it be that libjpeg.a was compiled on the platform on which you are developing, whereas the target of grab.elf is different? i.e., you are developing on x86 environment and targeting ARM?
