This recommendation is for i386, the mips kernel needs at least gcc 3.2 and binutils 2.14 (with the options used by the Debian kernel). > The thing that confuses me between the two errors is that the one > from 2.95.4 complains of an option (`-mcpu=r5000') that is fed into > as (the assembler) when compiling with gcc 3.3, this option is not > generated. The Makefile has some magic to guess the compiler version, but that's mostly obsolete now.

It looks like the build system got confused, probably by a missing "make dep" (although make-kpkg handles this automatically).
