You probably need to disable debuginfo packages if that is the case.
You might also want to redefine %{__strip} to the appropriate
cross-strip utility, or /bin/true. Something like:
%define debug_package %{nil}
%define __strip /bin/true
As well as this you may also need to stop prelink from breaking the
cross-compiled binaries. This can be particularly insidious because
the binary will work after installation right up til the next
overnight prelink run.
Here's how to stop prelink:
%install
...
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/prelink.conf.d
echo '-b /usr/bin/name' > $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/prelink.conf.d/%{name}.conf
