Please, stop inflicting unnecessary pain on yourself (and us :) by
hand-installing glibc and so on.  Just use crosstool or a known good,
COMPLETE mipsel-linux toolchain.  The one you have been using is very
obviously completely broken.

This is nonsense.  You should never have to force /usr/include into
your include path.  The toolchain should find its headers
automatically.  If it does not, it's BROKEN.

Also, since you're most probably running all this on a normal PC, you
are including x86 headers into your program, which is almost certainly
not what you want.

Same nonsense.  Never force those libraries into your library path.
Your toolchain should find them automatically.  What does
"mipsel-linux-gcc -print-search-dirs" print?

Usually this is due to linking objects and libraries from different
CPU's together, e.g. x86 and mipsel files.  I agree that GNU ld should
print something like "Are you insane???" instead of crashing, but then
again...
