this is what i do to get it built for a mipsel platform. be sure to use the 
same versions of the auto* tools:

	cd ipkg/
	aclocal-1.6
	autoconf2.50
	autoheader2.50
	# remove @LIBOBJS@ in replace/Makefile?.am:4: 
	automake-1.6 -a -c
	./configure --host=mipsel-linux
	make
	familiar/rules binary

for newer versions of ipkg (like CVS HEAD) you also need a
file like /etc/ipkg/arch.conf which in my case looks like this:
	arch all 1
	arch any 1
	arch noarch 1
	arch mipsel 20

hope that helps,
bruno
