That's your problem.  To debug a MIPS target you need a MIPS debugger:
  ./configure --target=mips-linux (or mipsel-linux)

You should probably also look at the documentation for --with-sysroot
(in 6.0) or for "set solib-absolute-prefix".

If there's anywhere in the documentation that you looked before doing
this, please let us know so we can clarify it.
