What i was trying to do is:
Host : i386 (Pentium 4)
Host OS : RedHat 9.0
Target : MIPS
Target OS : Some kind of Linux from Broadcom (believe is debian)
After i compile ... it seems to be OK until i load it into the target
system(MIPS), it start complaining about missing files.
Ok then, I copy them into the target system from my redhat 9.0 (i386).
Guess what ... imcompatible binary, as expected.
Thanx.

More than one operating system that could support Ethereal runs on MIPS
processors - IRIX (for which The Written Word builds binaries), Linux
distributions, various BSDs, various other UN*Xes, and NT 4.0.
For which operating system do you want to compile Ethereal?
And, "how do I do X?" or "can somebody help me do X?" questions often
really mean "I tried to do X, but it didn't work - how do I make it
work?", did you try compiling it and get errors, or have you not yet
tried compiling it? If you tried compiling it and got errors, what
errors did you get? If you haven't tried compiling it, try just
downloading it, running the configure script (if this is UN*X), and
building it.
(If this is NT 4.0, note that WinPcap is *ONLY* supported on x86, so you
won't be able to capture packets unless you compile WinPcap and make it
work - you'd have to ask the WinPcap developers for help on that.
However, it's probably not NT 4.0, it's probably some UN*X - my guess
would be IRIX or Linux.)
