It seems that you might need some (but not all) of the patch I posted here:

http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-10/msg00068.html

Specifically I think you will need at least the parts that add

#include <sgidefs.h>

To many of the .h files.  Basically any file that uses the symbol 
_MIPS_SIM and friends needs to either directly or indirectly include 
sgidefs.h

You may also need:

http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-10/msg00142.html

And something like this:
