I have the error "FATAL: kernel too old" when I try to generate
locales with "make localedata/install-locales".

I installed Linux headers from linux-libre-3.5.4-gnu
(http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/3.5.4-gnu/linux-libre-3.5.4-gnu.tar.bz2),
then binutils-2.22, and gcc-4.7.2 (gmp-5.0.5, mpc-1.0.1, mpfr-3.1.1).

I am trying to cross-compile glibc-2.16.0 with the above tools:

tar xf glibc-2.16.0.tar.bz2
pushd glibc-2.16.0
tar xf ../glibc-ports-2.16.0.tar.bz2
mv -v glibc-ports-2.16.0 ports
sed -i.orig "s/\ -lgcc_eh\|\ -lgcc_s//g" Makeconfig
# The above command is required in order for the build to complete
echo "" > ports/sysdeps/mips/mips64/n64/Makefile
echo "" > ports/sysdeps/mips/mips64/n32/Makefile
echo "" > ports/sysdeps/mips/mips32/Makefile
sed -i "/default) machine=/s/n32/64/g" \
    ports/sysdeps/mips/preconfigure
mkdir -pv ../glibc-build
cd ../glibc-build

cat > config.cache << EOF

cat > configparms << EOF

make install
make localedata/install-locales
