building for mips target glibc-headers target

["Daniel Laird" <danieljlaird at hotmail dot com>]

I have having fun trying to get a mipsel crosscompiler chain built using 
crosstool

I am using binutils-2.15.96
gcc 3.4.3
glibc 2.3.4
kernel 2.6.11.6

When i compile i get an error in the install-headers section with is moaning 
that mabi=32 is not a valid option.  This seems to be an error in 
sysdps/mips/mips32/Makefile.

If i patch this out for this stage do the install-headers target  and then 
patch is back i can get the entire toolchain to build and get the linux 
kernel built.(and running on the target)

However when i try to build busybox it moans that bits/syscall.h is included 
and does not exist which is true.  this looks like an error in the glibc 
build which has not generated the file

I have two questions
Is the glibc-install-headers target from crosstool needed at all (seems that 
some people think not)
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2005-04/msg00106.html

Has anyone else had a problem with this, ie bits/syscall.h not being 
generated.

hope you can help
