I can't seem to reproduce this error.  Here's what I did (using a fresh
chicken-4.8.0.1 tarball and the mips toolchain from
https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchain/release2358):

  $ make PLATFORM=linux \
         ARCH= PREFIX=/usr \
         C_COMPILER=../mips-2012.09/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc \
         DESTDIR=$HOME/local/chicken-mips-target \
         libs install-dev

After the build is finished, I get:

  $ file libchicken.so libchicken.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object,
  MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with unknown
  capability 0x41000000 = 0xf676e75, with unknown capability 0x10000 =
  0x70401, not stripped

Maybe your chicken source directory is somehow polluted by some previous
unsuccessful build?  Maybe try with a fresh source by extracting the
source tarball again to see if it helps.

Best wishes.
Mario
