arm: ./busybox: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")") - build

Question

I am setting up a virtual machine specifically for crosscompiling for armv7l. As a test I decided to compile busybox, and while the crosscompilation itself works fine, upon uploading the resulting binary to a router with the correct architecture, the binary complains about ./busybox: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")
I did not have this issue when compiling for x86, and as such I believe the problem is with my build environment.
It's based on ubuntu18 server, and I've installed these packages:
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi
libncurses5-dev
gawk
build-essentials
make
my buildscript:
export ac_cv_linux_vers=2
export CC=/usr/local/arm-2011.09/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc
export GCC=/usr/local/arm-2011.09/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

# I already did make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
make install
Any obvious flaws with my build process?
The platform on which I am trying to run busybox:

Answer 1

Solved it. It turned out that my make menuconfig was incomplete.
Busybox Settings -> Build Options -> Build Busybox as a static binary (no shared libs)
Busybox Settings -> Build Options -> Cross compiler prefix -> Set this option equal to "arm-linux-gnueabi-"
Busybox Settings -> Installation Options -> Don't use /usr -> Enable
Linux Module Utilities -> () Default directory containing modules -> blank
after that, the binary produced by the build script worked as intended
