I'm not sure if that actually solves the problem. I think
cross-compilation libraries need to be built specifically for this purpose
as bits might be different, such as in the case of
/usr/mipsel-linux/lib/libc.so, which has to be different from the
mipsel-linux native /usr/lib/libc.so. Cross-compilation libraries might
be built as noarch packages as they are actually independent from the
build system they are installed on.
