This is not doing what I would call a cross-compiler from
i686-pc-linux-gnu to mipsel-linux.  I would call this building a
native compiler for mipsel-linux, and doing the build on
i686-pc-linux-gnu.

If you want to build a cross-compiler which runs on i686-pc-linux-gnu
and generates code which runs on mipsel-linux, then this will suffice:

configure --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=...

Since you are talking about a cross-compiler to a Linux target, I also
recommend looking at
    http://kegel.com/crosstool/

That said, I don't know what is happening here.  If you still want to
figure it out, you should look at the file
    build-i686-pc-linux-gnu/libiberty/config.log
(as the error message suggests).
