There are pretty succinct cross-compiler instructions on gnuarm.org, including how to use newlib, even if ARM is not your target.
In config.log, find "suffix of object files". Nearby, you'll find what it actually did to try to figure that out, including showing the compiler commandline and output. Try to figure out why the compiler puked, and post here again if you still need help.
Could I also suggest:

Hi Eduardo,
I'm using the following commands:
./configure --target=mipsel-elf --prefix=/usr/local/ ...
..^^
As mentioned in the GCC documentation...
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
...running configure in the self-same directory of the GCC source code is
not supported. (Nor from any subdirectory within the GCC source code tree.)
Your GCC source is likely tainted. You should rm -rf it, tar x fresh, and
start from there.
HTH,

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I am getting this messages:

See `config.log' for more details.

The problem is the "checking for suffix of object files... configure:
error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile"
I looked at config.log but I don't know what I should be looking at...
Also, I think I should use newlib with the cross compiler... How can I
do that?
Thanks,
Eduardo
