The Linux/MIPS project has moved to (guess ...) linux-mips.org. oss
still contains a mirror of ftp.linux-mips.org but it's only updated
manually in irregular intervals.

Rpm just saved your system. If you're installing this MIPS glibc into a
crosscompiler machine as it seems then keep your CDROM at hand for
reinstallation. You will need it ...

Sure, they have nothing in common.

Only very few packages support that; these packages don't.
You will not be able to build a kernel with binutils 2.8.x or egcs 1.0.x.
The absolute minimum required to build a kernel is egcs 1.1.2 and
binutils 2.13.1 which you can download from ftp.linux-mips.org. Cross-
compiling a kernel does not require the installation of a MIPS glibc on
the crosscompilation host. If you're going to crosscompile application
software you'll need a much more recent gcc even.
