There is nothing that keeps you from building those compiler as native
compilers also. Usually I only crosscompile kernels and do all other
work native.

Which looks like you don't have a glibc package installed.

Guess I should occasionally roll an uptodate crosscompiler package ...

http://oss.sgi.com/mips/mips-howto.html. Where are you looking? It's still
on the web and is also being distributed as part of the LDP project. Heck,
the HOWTO even seems to ship with a number of Intel distributions, at least
Conectiva 6.0 and Redhat 6.2 seem to include it, even though fairly old
versions.
