Hi Waldemar,

Except from meeting all dependencies (especially overwriting OS X tools with 
GNU versions) I did use these steps to setup my Entware-ng environment:

1. A case-sensitive filesystem is required for OpenWrt so I guess Entware-ng 
will need one too. Create the image in 2 steps to prevent EFI partition 
creation (for volumes over 2g).
$ hdiutil create -size 512m -type SPARSEBUNDLE -fs "Case-sensitive HFS+" 
-volname Case-sensitive ~/src/Case-sensitive && hdiutil resize -size 38g 
~/src/Case-sensitive.sparsebundle

2. Mount the image and hide it from Finder and Desktop
$ hdiutil attach ~/src/Case-sensitive.sparseimage -nobrowse

3. Go to the case sensitive location
$ cd /Volumes/Case-sensitive

4. Download Entware-ng sources
$ git clone https://github.com/Entware-ng/Entware-ng.git

5. Go to the root folder
$ cd Entware-ng

6. Pick up the configuration for the mipselsf (mips, little endian, soft 
floating point) platform
$ cp configs/mipselsf.config .config

6. Prepared the necessary fixes.
$ make


For now I think the issue is after:
> make[3]: Entering directory 
> `/Volumes/Case-sensitive/Entware-ng/toolchain/uClibc/headers'

in this incomplete Make call:
> make -C 
> build_dir/toolchain-mipsel_mips32r2_gcc-5.3.0_uClibc-1.0.16/uClibc-ng-1.0.16 
> ... -I../..//extra/locale


A result the incorrect (FreeBSD) version of ‘langinfo.h’ at 
/usr/include/langinfo.h is used.
$ gcc -M 
build_dir/toolchain-mipsel_mips32r2_gcc-5.3.0_uClibc-1.0.16/uClibc-ng-1.0.16/extra/locale/gen_locale.c
 | grep langinfo
  /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/_locale.h /usr/include/langinfo.h \

To let the compiler find the correct ‘langinfo.h’ something/somewhere needs 
f.e. an addition like:
> -I../../include

Note: This is my guess without any knowledge of how the compiler handles 
preferences of include locations
