The Openmoko Freerunner has two CPUs: one for the main operating system
(the host), and one for the baseband (the target). Here osmocon is
running on the host as usual.

So technically, you either need to:
- compile osmocombb with a native ARM compiler, possibly on the
  Openmoko (can be slow though)
- cross-compile osmocombb for Openmoko, which may require a different
  compiler than the one recommended for the target.

Alternatively, you can use the Debian packages from the hackable:1 project:

HTH,
