Okay.

Yes, there are more things broken. But I can successfully build a Qemu MIPS system
and it boots up fine.
- Busybox have a patch in upstream, will be in the next release
 http://www.mail-archive.com/busybox@busybox.net/msg17046.html
- uClibc utils/getconf.c does not compile (unresolved)
- there is a kernel patch needed to build the different tools ( I can provide this, if someone is interested, this is
used in OpenWrt, too)
- minor patch for echo -e incompatibility

Besides that you need to use GNU sed, GNU xargs and GNU install instead of the MacOS X utils.
