Are you sure that it was correct before?  We had (for pread.c):

# if defined(__MIPSEB__)
  result = INLINE_SYSCALL (pread, 6, fd, buf, count, 0, 0, offset);
# elif defined(__MIPSEL__)
  result = INLINE_SYSCALL (pread, 6, fd, buf, count, 0, offset, 0);
# endif

According to your comment this should be for both endianesses:
  result = INLINE_SYSCALL (pread, 6, fd, buf, count, 0, offset, 0)

Is this correct?  I'll make the changes for
pread{64},pwrite{64},{f}truncate64 in the next days.

Thanks for double checking!
Andreas
