As far as I can see you don't cross-compile the file. You use the host
toolchain. There is no clean way to build it for host if you have your
kernel configured for MIPS. Perhaps maybe you could define
__MIPS_SIM_{ABI64, ABI32, NABI32} in the gcc command line (-D...) but
this is a bit ugly. Or maybe use the host headers instead of the ones in
the kernel source.
