I am afraid you are doing the "install" step of deploying from sources
across the machines utterly wrong.

What more to expect if you believe you can do with moving binaries
and getting relevant files OK by hand.  That doesn't really scale
and is error-prone, leading to more time spent on guesstimating
authoritative installation recipe that's already there (see below).

Now, you got overapproximation of what you really need
(e.g., context-of.xsl and best-match.sh are just helpers for developers
and make sense only from within the source tree, just as Makefile etc.
does), which is what you want to avoid, especially in case of the
embedded board.

So now, what you should do instead is along these lines:

$ mkdir pcmk-tree
$ export CFLAGS=... CC=... # what you need for cross-compilation
$ ./configure ...
$ make && make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/pcmk-tree
$ tar czpf pcmk-tree.tar.gz pcmk-tree

and now, distribute pcmk-tree.tar.gz to you target, untar it with
something like "-k --strip-components=1" in the / dir.

Or better yet, go a proper package management route, best using
"make rpm" target (you'll have to edit pacemaker.spec or RPM macros
on your system so as to pass the cross-compilation flags across)
and then just install the package at the target if that's doable
in your environment.

Hope this helps.
