It depends on what and how you want to compile. To use rpm, you need
quite a lot tools (db3, patch, sed, grep, find,...). Beside that
you'll at least need glibc, binutils, gcc, and make. But you'll find
out that you'll have to compile flex, bison, m4, automake, autoconf,
and even perl to get rpm builds going. My mipsel native environment
currently has the following packages:
