Your problem is ucLinux. The complaint comes from the last stage of the run file generation, where the executable is converted to form suitable for hardware without a memory translation unit. I do not have a recipe to rectify the situation.

I'm trying to crosscompile MQTT client for ARM platform. At the final step, creation of binaries, the system reports errors below.

I guess that I overlooked something...

What could be the reason ? I'm not sure whether this is the problem of program I compile, or toolchain or any setting ?

Thanks in advance, regards, R.

Sorry if this is stating the obvious, but R_ARM_ABS32 would seem to be an absolute address, which conflicts with PIC (ie Position Independent Code), which is, by definition, relocatable. What your fix is, I can't say, further.
