MIPS compilation?!?

[endertable]

This is not really an issue but has anyone had success compiling for MIPS. I took the source code and did the following:

export GOARCH=mips
export GOMIPS=softfloat
export GOOS=linux
export CC=/compile/mips-gcc472-glibc216-32bit-r2.3.3/bin/mips-linux-gnu-gcc
##  (Also tried with mips-linux-uclibc-gnu-gcc since the device has uclibc)
make clean
make

It creates a websocketd binary but when I run it on the device I get:

./websocketd: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

When I run the 'file' command on it, I get:

websocketd: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

When I run the 'file' command on another working binary file on the system, I get:

hl_client: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0, stripped

Thanks for any help...
