some ideas....

   sometimes ftp transfers files as "text" files, not binary. Which
   can screw your file.

   try chmod 755 test and ./test

   using the name test is not recommended - there is utility called
   "test" or "[" and there is real danger of confusion - executing
   the existing system "test" utility instead of your program.

   what does

      file test

   report? It should be something like...

      test: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), dynamically
      linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

   anything else and you haven't done the cross-compile right.
