What's surprising is that you're able to run this application at all on
armhf: the ELF PI for armel is different than the one for armhf, so you
*should* be getting a "no such file or directory" error when trying to run
the binary. How are you invoking the program? Have you cross-installed
libc6:armel for compatibility, or done something else here?
The key requirement for successfully running armel binaries on armhf is to
have an ELF PI (ld.so) that can tell the difference between hard-float and
soft-float libraries on the system. If I'm not mistaken, Debian unstable
should have this.
