Those are indeed strange messages. Could it be there are hidden tabs or
carriage return characters in your script, or spaces after your backslashes?
The last message especially looks to me like there's a space at the end of
the --host line. Try doing the configure statement on one line.

If config.sub is truly not recognizing your system, try with --host=mipsel
and specify CC=mipsel-linux-gcc etc. manually. It could be that config.sub
is failing because you have a non-GNU set of coreutils programs in your PATH
that don't have the features. What does "./config.sub mipsel-linux" give
you?
