Ah - Here is the responsible autoconf bit from config.guess:
mips:Linux:*:*)
case `sed -n '/^byte/s/^.*: \(.*\) endian/\1/p' < /proc/cpuinfo` in
big) echo mips-unknown-linux-gnu && exit 0 ;;
little) echo mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu && exit 0 ;;
esac
This has already been discussed and probably even fixed in autoconf
upstream ...
