Not the filenames AFAIK, but the variables (e.g. at least the Linux
kernel, busybox and tinylogin Makefiles (IIRC) have it that way):
For cross-gcc you usually have (in your case)
    CROSS=mipsel-uclibc-
and
    CC=$(CROSS)gcc
    LD=$(CROSS)kd
    etc.
in Makefiles.
And I would use a completely different variable for the directory.

For the above case CROSS is obviuosly empty.

As for gcc: You can build a cross-gcc either way - called "gcc" or
"$ARCH-gcc". The latter avoids nasty problems if people (or distributors
or ....) do not separate cross-toolchains from native ones clearly.
