What should be the prefix for the platform specific package

They shouldn't be touched.  Target-specific libraries (such as those
generated by cross-building newlib) will end up in
/usr/local/mipsel-linux/lib, and the accompanying include files will end up 
in /usr/local/mipsel-linux/include.

You will see a few additions to /usr/local/lib, but these are bfd libraries 
which can be used to build specialized cross-development tools.
