This is what I showed you:

 file tools/env/fw_printenv
tools/env/fw_printenv: ELF 32-bit MSB  executable, PowerPC or cisco
4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for
GNU/Linux 2.6.16,
BuildID[sha1]=594378892413a38849d6ae219b8ca8527e0c50be, stripped

I build for powerpc, fw_printenv is for powerpc (target).

No, this is not correct. Please try as I show you and check the result.
It is for target.

Sorry, it is.

No, it is not.
