Hints on investigating 'invalid ELF header' on ia64-hp-openvms

[David SAUVAGE - AdaLabs Ltd <david dot sauvage at adalabs dot com>]

Hi,

Using a crossed native build of binutils running on ia64-hp-openvms, 
object file built [2] from assembly file [3] is invalid [1]

As the cross binutils build produces valid object files on the target, 
the issue seems to be related to the crossed native build process.
I am looking for hints on how to further investigate and solve this issue.

Best regards,
