i suppose it would be possible.... havn't located any tools for the device at 
the mo..... but vr4100  [at]  66mhz won't exactly provide a speedy comile ;-)

i havn't tried to be honest as linuxelf is not listed as an explicit option. 
the configure.in gives the following options

if test "$GCC" = yes
then
    if test -z "$arch"
    then
	case "$host" in
	    i386-*)           ;;
	    i?86-*)           arch="-m486" ;;
	    arm*-empeg-*)     arch="-march=armv4 -mtune=strongarm1100" ;;
	    armv4*-*)         arch="-march=armv4 -mtune=strongarm" ;;
	    powerpc-*)        ;;
	    mips*-agenda-*)   arch="-mcpu=vr4100" ;;
	    mips*-luxsonor-*) arch="-mips1 -mcpu=r3000 -Wa,-m4010" ;;
	esac
    fi

i've tried ./configure --build=mips and several variations (including 
--target=) with no joy should i be looking at the 'mips*-agenda-*)' or 
-'mcpu=vr4100' ?

sintax is probably important here so advice on this would be welcome.
every time i try to configure, it defaults to '-m486'
