Is the Efika MX this device?
http://www.genesi-usa.com/products/smartbook
If this is the case, this one has a Freescale i.MX515 (ARM Cortex-A8 800MHz).

In that case I think we might have another problem. We compile with option.
-march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9

I don't know if this will cause problems on Cortex A8 hardware?
Or do we need to change to: -mtune=cortex-a8 ?
