(There is something wrong with the "arch" option, both here and in the log.)

Should probably be:
./configure --cross-prefix=/home/ed/Project/armCrossCompile
gcc-arm-none-eabi-eabi-
--target-os=none --arch=arm

Please do not compress the log, please avoid top-posting here.

If it still fails, try to compile FFmpeg's test program ("int
main(void){ return 0; }")
with the options FFmpeg uses ("-march=armv4t") and find out if it
really succeeds
from cli.
