Thanks for the heads up.
I got it working on my mipsel box.

First of all I switched to 2.3.18-rc git.

I build the latest zlib 1.2.7 with -fPIC and -DPIC (seems to be required for mipsel).

I recompiled and reinstalled OpenSSL 1.0.1 with "shared no-ssl2 enable-tlsext"
"shared" also seems to build the static libraries aswell.

Then I reconpiled and libevent 2.0.19-stable.
For libevent I also used the --with-pic and pointed the ./configure to my compiled zlib 1.2.7
Also I left out the "--disable-debug-option"  this time.

Now for Tor, it seems that this "bufferevents"-options causes problems.
I threw away the log but it makes setting up the circuit very slow and after a while I'm getting timeouts and errors about "connections marked for closing?"
If you want I can rebuild it with bufferevents and send you a detailed log about it.

Anywyas I build it using these options:

./configure --host=mipsel-oe-linux --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-openssl-dir=/home/mastag/src/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/sysroots/mipsel-oe-linux/lib \
--with-zlib-dir=/home/mastag/src/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/sysroots/mipsel-oe-linux/lib \
--with-libevent-dir=/home/mastag/src/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/sysroots/mipsel-oe-linux/lib \
--enable-static-libevent --disable-asciidoc --enable-static-zlib --enable-static-openssl \
CPPFLAGS="-I/home/mastag/src/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/sysroots/mipsel-oe-linux/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/home/mastag/src/openpli/build-dm800/tmp/sysroots/mipsel-oe-linux/lib" LIBS="-lz"

The resulting binary is still 5Megs after I manually stripped it, but it seems to work :)

I still can't configure with --enable-static-tor though.
The OpenSSL test will fail with:

The dso_dlfcn.c errors can be solved by compiling OpenSSL with "no-dso".
However I can't figure out why the static OpenSSL has trouble finding zlib?
I don't think it's a problem because my semi-static binary works well enough now :)

If you got a static 'openssl' binary with zlib in it, and both
.a and .so's for the openssl libs, and libevent and tor compiled
against that, I'd like to see the openssl diff. I gave up early.

> Also libevent and tor need the ./configure CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS for zlib

Yeah, and and for against openssl and libevent too. I left that out.

Don't know., sounds normal, send a signal newnym.

I think 'zlib' works the same as not specifying any zlib* phrase.
And that not specifying 'shared' gets you only static libs and
a dynamic bin, 'shared' adds dyn libs.

Tor here is 3487400 bytes, stripped.

It's in the torspec docs somewhere. Probably just rsa, dh, aes and x509, basics.
Or try debug in openssl.conf.
