It took me some time to actually make the jabber server working, few people seem to really care about cross-compiling their stuff, but I succeeded and here's the howto:
0. Errata
First of all, during the testing I found out I have to modify the environment settings - the static build of jabber did not work at all. I also added the location of newly compiled libs and headers so that they can be used by programs that depend on them. Some programs were in C++, so the CXX variable had to be set as well. Here's the final environment (P.S. in the end it seems some additions like CPPFLAGS would be needed for perfection, but I'm not in the mood of retrying):
$ cat environment
TOOLCHAINS_HOME=/opt/toolchains/uclibc-crosstools
export LIBS="-L${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/lib/gcc/mips-linux/3.4.2 \
-L/var/usb/usb_1/lib \

export INCLUDES="-I${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/include/c++/3.4.2 \
-I${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/mips-linux/sys-include \
-I/var/usb/usb_1/include \
-I/home/hajma/Documents/GPL_AM604G_ForRussia/GENERIC_6348_WLAN_A34_3-06-02-01/kernel/linux/include \
-I/var/usb/usb_1/include/ncurses \
"
#export CFLAGS="${INCLUDES} ${LIBS} -static"
#export LDFLAGS="-static"
export CFLAGS="${INCLUDES} ${LIBS}"
export LDFLAGS=""
export CC="${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/bin/mipsel-uclibc-gcc"
export CXX="${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/bin/mipsel-uclibc-g++"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/lib
export PATH="${TOOLCHAINS_HOME}/bin:${PATH}"
Let's use it:
. environment
Also the symlinking of the uclibc toolchain needed to be further enhanced for some package to get built:
# cd /opt/toolchains/uclibc-crosstools/bin
# for A in mips-linux-uclibc-* ; do
> ln -s ${A} mipsel-linux-${A#mips-linux-uclibc-}
> done
1a. jabberd
$ cd GENERIC_6348_WLAN_A34_3-06-02-01/userapps/opensource
$ wget http://download.jabberd.org/jabberd14/jabberd14-1.6.1.1.tar.gz
$ tar xvf jabberd14-1.6.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd jabberd14-1.6.1.1
$./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1
This ends badly:
...
checking for libpopt... configure: error: no
Apparently the
library for parsing command line parameters is needed. This was reported
a year ago ...
2. popt
$ cd GENERIC_6348_WLAN_A34_3-06-02-01/userapps/opensource
$ wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/popt/72854/url_tgz/popt-1.14.tar.gz

$ cd popt-1.14
$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1
...
checking for va_copy() function... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.
WTF! There's
bug 25 about it that the developers closed, saying "va_copy is no longer needed or used in popt-1.14.". Hell, when it's not needed, why did you keep the check ... :-(
I added a comment to the bug and sucessfully run:
$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 ac_cv_va_copy=no
$ make
$ make install
1b. jabberd
Retry:
$ cd ../jabberd14-1.6.1.1
$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1
...
checking for libpopt... configure: error: no
The previous step did not help much ... The configure script does not search for the popt.h in the provided directories - again something reported
a year ago. It forced me to rise
bug 93.
Retry:
$ CPPFLAGS="-I/var/usb/usb_1/include" ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1
...
checking for GNUTLS... no
No package 'gnutls' found
configure: error: Couldn't find required GnuTLS installation
Fine, let's get GnuTLS working first. Furthermore,
./configure --help reveals that some more libraries are needed by jabberd:
--with-libidn=DIR Where to find libidn (required)
--with-libpth=DIR Where to find libpth (required)
--with-expat=DIR Where to find libexpat (required)
In addition GnuTLS requires some other libraries, libtasn1 and libgcrypt, so let's get them all first.

$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1

To save me from
checking for gpg-error-config... no
checking for GPG Error - version >= 1.4... no
configure: error: libgpg-error is needed.
See ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/ .
when configuring libgcrypt, libgpg-error has to be done in advance.

$ cd libgpg-error-1.6
$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1
$ make
$ make install
8. libgcrypt
$ cd ..
$ wget ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.gz
$ tar xvf libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.gz
$ cd libgcrypt-1.4.1
The path to libggpg-error has to be specified explicitly:
$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-gpg-error-prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-pth-prefix=/var/usb/usb_1

After some experimentation (I told you I am no programmer) I found the following to work:
$ LIBS="-ltasn1 $LIBS" ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-libgcrypt-prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-libtasn1-prefix=/var/usb/usb_1
$ make
$ make install
Also I found that the two official mirrors have both different directory structure, so I was missing the devel branch of GnuTLS. The above works with http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/releases/gnutls-2.3.14.tar.bz2 (and breaks with 2.2.5).
1c. jabberd
Let's not try to find more bugs and specify the needed components to the
configure script now:
$ cd ../jabberd14-1.6.1.1
$ CPPFLAGS="-I/var/usb/usb_1/include" ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-libidn=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-libpth=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-expat=/var/usb/usb_1
but still bad luck:

We can fix that, but the show is still not at the end:

Quick look into
config.log reveals something familiar:

Let's see if the GnuTLS fix works here as well:
LIBS="-ltasn1 $LIBS" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/var/usb/usb_1/lib/pkgconfig CPPFLAGS="-I/var/usb/usb_1/include" ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --prefix=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-libidn=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-libpth=/var/usb/usb_1 --with-expat=/var/usb/usb_1
...
checking for stringprep_check_version in -lidn... no
No, it doesn't :-(, but config.log reveals we got one step further:

You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
Seems some terminal library is needed ...

hmm, I guess I really need to use the CPPFLAGS, shouldn't I modify the
environment file? Perhaps, but now it's too late, it's finished:

I was quite surprised with the size of some files. Performing
/opt/toolchains/uclibc-crosstools/bin/mipsel-linux-sstrip
on
bin/ and
lib/ helped a bit, but 1MB of
vim suggests there's still place for optimizations.

In the next part I'll try to correctly configure jabberd and make it start at router boot.
