Thanks for your prompt reply. I will try both a native build and a cross-compile build and let you know how it goes. I was curious to know if anyone does a cross-compile build since I did not see a README.cross or much mentioned on other Debian web pages about cross-compiling glibc.
Once again thanks for the pointers.

The glibc source package is transferred to a bonafide mipsel machine, on which the equivalent of the following line is run: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -B (You'll need to install the dpkg-dev and build-essential packages to accomplish this). Since you want to cross-compile, you may want to install the dpkg-cross package and use that. If it happens that the source package is not clean for a cross build that way, give a shout so we can fix it.
