I was able to compile the code for myself with no problems, after I made 
some changes to the configure script to enable cross-compiling. I suspect 
that you may have made different changes and as a result broken your build 
process.

I think i have fixed most of the issues now, but you will need to comment 
out the AX_RANDOM_DEVICE line in configure.ac before running bootstrap.

Please could you try checking out a completely fresh copy, making 
that change, and then configuring and building like this:

 	export PATH=/tmp/freetz-trunk/toolchain/build/gcc-4.2.1-uClibc-0.9.29/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/bin:$PATH
 	./configure --host=mipsel-linux
 	make

and see how far that gets you?

Cheers, Chris.
