Glad to report that these hints did the trick! The mips64 target now builds
proper without Dietlib. Also i had to change the pkgsel to remove mandatory
dietlib inclusion (generic/pkgsel/00-minimal.in). This i suppose can be moved
on to either target/architecture specific pkgsel.

Thanks a bunch!
Best.
Girish.
