hmmm - is your host system a "i686-unknown-linux-gnu"
what's the output of ./config.guess from gdb?

you should use the output of ./config.guess instead of
i686-unknown-linux-gnu

BTW:
If you have low resources on your target consider using gdbserver...

you probably have an ar es a result of crosstool...create a apropriate
softlink (as Dan suggested) and you use the same target-tuple in
all tools of your tools in the future....
