It is considered bad form to hijack a thread. You should start your own thread.
Having said that, I would suggest that you make sure your executable program really is that. What is the result of

file ./hello

If it doesn't specifically state that it is ARM object code, then you've probably done something wrong in compiling and moving the executable to the target architecture. It sounds very much like you're trying to execute a C source file.

[EDIT] Looks like the mods have started a new thread for you

Hi madhav,
It seems like you didn't crosscompiled it correctly,please make sure that you've got an arm executable by typing 'file <executable bame>',(I got the error because my compilation was not complete,i.e, I just made an object file ,I fixed it after cross compiling it with proper option to generate executable)

ya thanks for the information, there was a minor mistake as i used -c option while compilation which resulted in generating only object file, so i was trying to execute this so i got the error.
thanks for the information.

Madhav.
