That's the host-libc6. You need a target-libc6.
tpkg-install-libc can do that for you. You need to install dpkg-cross and
toolchain-source first. More information about this can be found in
/usr/share/doc/toolchain-source/ (toolchain-source is the Debian-recommended
way to build cross-compilers).
But since you're compiler is installed in /usr/local/ and dpkg-cross will
install libc6 in /usr, you'll have to add some symbolic links from (possibly
some parts under) /usr/local/mipsel-linux/ to /usr/lib/mipsel-linux/.
