Not sure if you're building natively or not… I've found QEMU these days
runs mips(el)(64) targets decently on modern hardware, as that's what I
used to bootstrap mips64el n64 stages for Loongson a couple of years ago.
I'm told the same instructions used today hit a bump in the road
regarding gdbm and gettext bickering about infrastructure ("gettext
infrastructure mismatch")… evidently a bug that can be reproduced on a
straight AMD64 system so possibly not a cross-compile bug per-se. I
think someone who knows more about those two packages than me could
probably solve it.
I did have a crack at musl, didn't seem to get past first base with
`crossdev`.
Ultimately that might be the answer though, because let's face it, even
the Yeeloong doesn't have oodles of RAM and it's not like backward ABI
compatibility with proprietary glibc-linked applications is a concern on
MIPS.
