In general the source tree from www.linux-mips.org is morfe likely
to work.

Looks ok.

This means Qemu's built-in ELF loader failed to load the vmlinux
binary. I've seen that when attempting to load a kernel with the
wrong endianness.

Maybe you want to try the Debian installer image, e.g. from
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-mipsel/current/images/qemu/netboot/
