dietlibc nash pic/non-pic errors

Hi
I am want to cross compile dietlibc and nash(mkinitrd).

I can cross compile static mipsel dietlibc libs
but when I try to link it with nash I get
   the pic and non-pic error,  can't merge

I have gotten QPDF, SD on linux, busybox and ulibc cross compiled and 
working, so I sort of know what I am doing.

I am using Maciej toolchain

any help?
