The glibc source package is transferred to a bonafide mipsel machine, on
which the equivalent of the following line is run:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -B
(You'll need to install the dpkg-dev and build-essential packages to
accomplish this).
Since you want to cross-compile, you may want to install the dpkg-cross
package and use that. If it happens that the source package is not
clean for a cross build that way, give a shout so we can fix it.
