So it found a DBI.so file and read the first 512 bytes,

Here's perl has started searching for the internals of Carp to use it to
report the error:
my $libref = dl_load_file($file, $module->dl_load_flags) or
croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error());

When you say "simulates an armel processor on X86", does it give you a
complete virtual machine that you login to? Where /usr/lib/... is
popuated only with libs for the armel processor?
Or is it a cross-development platform, where you 'live' in an X86
environment but the tools generate binaries that can be run on an armel
processor or via a simulator command?
Did the DBI's own "make test" and "make install" work properly?
Where exactly did the DBI's "make install" put the DBI.so file?
I'm wondering if the DBI.so file you're picking up is the wrong one.
