How to cross compile pyinstaller bootloader to arm 32bit - python-2.7

Question

How to cross compile pyinstaller-3.5 boot loader for arm soft float 32bit.
I tried to cross compile it:
getting error dl not found.
python2.7 ./waf CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc all
'all' finished successfully (0.000s)
'distclean' finished successfully (0.000s)

Also I used crosss compiled version of python 2.7.17
./configure --enable-shared \
--with-system-expat \
--with-ensurepip=yes \
--enable-unicode=ucs4 \
--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
--enable-ipv6 \
ac_cv_file__dev_ptmx=no \
ac_cv_file__dev_ptc=no &&
make
Used cross compiled version of zlib
CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure && make
and copied the lib to /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabi/7/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/
