If you are running the Linux kernel, then your target is not mips-elf,
but rather mips-linux-gnu.  For that target, glibc or uclibc is
appropriate.

(You may want to use the mips-elf target to build the Linux kernel
itself; I'm not sure.  But when building applications to run on top of
the kernel, mips-linux-gnu is the correct target to use.)
