- check that everything is compiled with '-fno-pic -mno-abicalls -G 0'
- you must have either a non-pic libgcc or make sure your programs
  don't need libgcc

The standard configuration of gcc for mipsel-linux creates a
PIC libgcc only, so if you need a non-pic libgcc you must hack
the gcc configuration and rebuild your toolchain.

Or alternatively you can compile dietlibc as PIC
(remove '-fno-pic -mno-abicalls' from mips/Makefile.add
and diet.c).

HTH,
