Hmm.  I have a mipsel test system sitting right next to me, but
I've not tried building this thing recently for mipsel.

Looks like for some reason gcc is failing to run ranlib on
libgcc.  Can you manually run 

    /home/cwood/gcc-3.1.1/toolchain/bin/mipsel-uclibc-ranlib \
	/home/cwood/gcc-3.1.1/toolchain/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux/3.1.1/libgcc.a 

and check if it continues to the end?  If that fixes it, then I
can see an easy way to make certain this problem goes away in 
future toolchain releases,
