You are using a 32 bit OS. You probably downloaded the 5.2 Linaro toolchain which will only work on 64 bit OS. Please note the following as already stated on article.

Note: Since the 14.11 release Linaro only provides x86_64 toolchains. If you use 32-bit Linux on your host machine (check using uname -m), you can still download the older 14.09 release which is still 32-bit:

Please download the Linaro toolchain supporting 32 bit OS and proceed further.
