  --build is the machine on which you are building the tools.

  --host is the machine on which you wish to run the tools.

  --target is the machine which you want the tools to produce code for.

  So in your case, --build and --host are i586-linux, and --target is
arm-linux.

  I don't know why the produced ldd works, since it should be designed
to run on --host = arm-linux.  I suspect you may not have been running
the version you just compiled, but some pre-existing version on your
machine?  In any case, you definitely want build = host = i586-linux
and target = arm-linux.
