After compiling them statically, I just get a "cannot execute" error.

I get this same error if I try to run the program on my development machine. So, it wasn't compiled natively and the nios2-elf-gcc cross-compiler didn't seem build it for the nios2 architecture either. Am I missing something here?

Shouldn't I just be able to use "nios2-elf-gcc" to compile a program and have it run on the nios2?
