So far, all good.

All input .o files should be ARM files, they got build just above. Just
check libwrap is an ARM binary too, just to be sure it got cross-compiled:
file /back/ts/root2/usr/lib/libwrap.so*

If it is really an ARM file, you can run again, but setting:
LDFLAGS="-L/back/ts/root2/usr/lib/ -v -Wl,--verbose"

The output is quite verbose, but you'll see exactly what ld is trying
to do...

Not so sure... ;-)

Maybe, just check libwrap, as stated above.

EABI and endianness come to mind. The verbose ld logs, above, will
tell.

Nope.
