Your machine is a pure 64-bit system. The CodeSourcery toolchains are meant
to run on 32-bit machines. So what the error actually means is that it can't
execute the binaries.

To fix it, you'll have to install the ia32 libraries for your distribution
(in Debian, they are bundled in packages whose names start with ia32-libs,
Fedora should have something similar).
