I was about to tell you to go try something easier 'til I reread this :)
You've done 90% of the work!! I presume you're after Linux on MIPs? If
not, you have further problems - you need to link to the host C
libraries, etc., which won't be glibc unless you're on a GNU platform.
And.. why can't you do the compile on the MIPs machine? Or is that too
easy???

No, only the mips cross-compiler :)

Given you're using autoconf, is there any reason why:

    ./configure --target=mipsel-linuxelf 

. doesn't work?

Cheers,
