This might be a stupid question, but as you didn't say so: Have you built
and installed (in foo like gcc) a crosscompiled binutils package?

Also, have you tried --target=mips-unknown-linux? For crosscompilation to
x86-64 we use --target=x86_64-unknown-linux, so this might apply to you
too.

And last tip: Try building just c support at first.

You might find it helpful to take a look at this page:
http://www.x86-64.org/documentation_folder/build
This gives full instructions on how to build (crosscompilation) a complete
x86-64 gnu tool chain.
