Some of the files in build_mips/staging_dir/usr/bin/ are the
cross-compiler and other cross-compilation tools. So they are compiled
for x86 and generate code for MIPS. Or can you provide an example of a
binary in this directory that is LSB, but not for x86 ?

In build_mips/staging_dir/usr/lib/, are the libraries compiled to run
on the target, so compiled for the MIPS architecture.

Use mipsel instead of mips ?
