 Thanks for pointing this out.

 The problem appears to be abort() that drags in other symbols.  MIPS uses
memchr.c, strchr.c and strlen.c from sysdeps/generic and they call abort()
when an unsupported size of long int is detected.  Couldn't we use
autoconf for this kind of checks and just bail out at the configure stage? 
I may prepare a patch if this is the way to go.
