The reason for having two copies is that when you're calling these tools directly (or from a make script), you want them to be in your path, so you want them to have a unique name (/usr/bin/mipsel-linux-ld); but internally, I believe the tools prefer /not/ to have to mess with the name mangling used there, so instead they look for a tool with the normal name (ld) in an architecture-specific directory (/usr/mipsel-linux/bin).
