/usr/mipsel-linux-uclibc I'm assuming that adding uclibc-foo like I described here: http://wiki.debian.org/EmDebian/UclibcToolchainBootstrap is the right way to do it. > > for > libc-uclibc-mipsel-cross_2.6.1-6_all.deb > ? > > Also note: > $ dpkg-architecture -auclibc-mipsel > unknown Debian architecture uclibc-mipsel, you must specify GNU system > type, too at /usr/bin/dpkg-architecture line 159. > > As dpkg-cross merges back into dpkg, dpkg-cross will increasingly rely > on dpkg code.

I'm not sure what way of replying would be appropriate now. Please tell me so you won't get everything three times.
