I am cross compiling. My build machine is based off x86. "uname -a" shows it
to be i686.

You said it appears I'm not cross compiling.  Did I miss something in the
makefile that I should have set?  The rootfs I created works on the target
machine.  I would have expected a crash and burn if I didn't have that set
up properly.

Just tried your suggestion.  I haven't put it on the target yet, but a "find
. -name ifup" in the build_mipsel directory does not find the file.  I'll
load it up next.
