You are still referencing your old toolchain:

CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi should be CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

I just found the answer after a 2 min Google search. It would be much
appreciated if you would attempt to solve your own problems before
requesting help.

If you still do not find a solution, we'd be happy to provide you with
some suitable suggestions.

Kind regards,
Lee
