Error Compiling node.js v0.10.31 for armv7

When trying to compile Node.js v0.10.31 (and v0.10.30) on Ubuntu 14.04 for use on Raspberry pi (running ARM). I'm using the following compiler flags:

export AR=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar
export CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
export CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
export LINK=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++

However I get the following error:

make -C out BUILDTYPE=Release V=1

Any ideas how to solve this error? Thank you!

I recently installed Node on a Raspberry Pi (do not use apt-get, even on Raspbian. If you can move to Raspbian, as far as I know Ubuntu doesn't like ARM). Try this:

$ cd /home/pi/node/ #or any directory you want
$ wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb

If you try to open the REPL ($ node) and this gives you an error, it's probably because it can't find the executable find. In that case this following command made it work for me:

$ hash -r

I used the following to install node.js on RPi.

Install Node on the Raspberry Pi in 5 minutes

The problem I found was that the latest node.js distribution (v0.10.31) did not include the precompiled version for the RPi. I had to go the last distribution that contained the precompiled node.js for the RPi (v0.10.28). Here is the link to the distribution repository:
