IIRC these errors happen if the compilation directory is too short so that
debugedit cannot in-place rewrite the strings to their /usr/src/debug/...
locations.

Try to build it under some directory like:
	/home/dhowells/rpmbuild-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/BUILDROOT/cross-gcc-4.9.0-2.fc21.x86_64/...
