I think you need to run the glibc testsuite for at least one MIPS16 case, 
at least one non-MIPS16 case; at least one case with GCC configured 
--with-mips-plt, at least one case with GCC configured --without-mips-plt 
(so at least two glibc testsuite runs, depending on how you combine those 
cases).
