Translation: Wrong ABI.
Kindles original firmware is still soft float.
So far, I am the only one to report on how to use hard float (concurrently with the native soft float) on the Kindles.
See:

I am planning an update to that project thread, with a new set of (expanded) base libraries RSN. Which **may** include support for the series 2 (K2, DX, DXG) devices.
Def, RSN: Within the next couple of months.

Note:
Amazon can not (currently) use any software licensed GPLv3 (and a lot of modern software is) until they change their packaging so that the end-user can build their own update_*.bin package.
Translation:
They have to reveal their pub/private key pair (never going to happen)
or
Make provision for the end-user to load the end-user's own key pair (when hell freezes over, maybe).
Choice #2 above - that is what our "jail break" does - loads the Mobileread key pair certificate to the device's key store.
I write "maybe" above because the staff of lab126 has been successfully infiltrated with Open Source / Open Hardware minded people on several occasions.
