Hi David.

I think you are using the wrong toolchain for the TS7500 series.  I use the 
version you list for the TS7250, and because I want the same executable to run 
on both TS7250 and T7550, I got the problem of wrong C++ library.

It does look strange that the path /ts-arm-sc/ts-7500-linux/cross-toolchains 
provides the wrong version, but you get to love TS's little quirks after a few 
years. Honestly.

I copied the libstdc++.so.5 from a TS7250 to the TS7550 and everything is fine.

The crosstool-linuc-arm-uclibc-3.4.6 is used to build the fastboot environment 
which means that executables provided there (like nandctl) cannot be run in the 
Debian environment.

I've had a quick poke around on the FTP site and can't find anything I would 
recommend to you.
