Ok. From looking at your instructions, it looks like Kindles need an armel tool chain.

The application I'm interested in porting is not a gtk app... as far as I can make out.

Also, it looks like you're creating a full armel environment inside your linux box, by using qemu emulation, etc. Maybe you use this for testing the ported app within your linux box itself, before copying it over to the kindle

I don't know whether that's required in my case. I'm OK with producing an armel specific image of the final executable on linux and copying it over to kindles for testing.
Work is done under emulation so that all of the native mode tools can be used.

Yes, Kindles are ARMel - softfloat - eabi
Although it is possible to run ARMhf concurrently with the factory system images. - I wrote a thread on that with worked examples.

Do you have the serial port connection set up on your Kindle?
If not, find a way to test your program off of the Kindle.

If you would describe your application - we could probably give you more specific advice.
And if it is a closed source application - go away - we don't do that here.
