Your config line looks a little off. It may be because your email client (or
mine) is wrapping wierd. I would try seperating your config options onto
individual lines for clarity. It would look something like this.

./configure --prefix=/home/mysql \
--with-low-memory \
--disable-assembler \
--disable-shared \
--with-mysqld-ldflags="-all-static" \
--with-client-ldflags="-all-static" \
mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu

I believe Steve mentioned that you may have a \ in the wrong place. A \ is
used to continue on to the next line to add extra configure arguments.
