I've tried to build your toolchain here, and had the same issue.
It looks like there is an issue when building binutils. With a single glance
at the config.log for glibc, you'll easily notice that the issue is that
ld is erroring out with (smthg like):
  .gnu.hash is not supported on MIPS.

I found the culprit to be patches/binutils/2.20/210-generate-gnu-hash.patch
This patch enables the GNU hash, except for MIPS. But the test is wrong.
The eception only triggers when the _host_ machine is MIPS, not when the
_target_ machine is MIPS.

Remove the targets/ directory, remove that patch, and start again from
scratch, it should work (the build is on-going OK here). Please report
whether it works or not for you.
