Because this is my first package for openwrt I don't know where or why
I get the message ./rdps: ./rdps: cannot execute binary file.

Because wireshark makefiles aren't cross compiler friendly, they try to
run compiled executables and mips executables don't run on x86 or
whatever.
They /should/ be cross-compiler friendly: we've had people cross compile before. 

The rdps issue was fixed in rev 20727; the change is described here:
