I suspect the regression is related to your use of mips16, which I had
no idea worked at all with musl and is not something that's officially
supported. Did you build musl itself as mips16? I don't think this is
going to work because we have tail calls back and forth between C and
asm code where the asm is written in normal 32-bit mips instructions.
There may also be issues with the dynamic linker start code if
crt_arch.h is assembled in mips16 mode.
Could you provide details on your setup, specifically, which
components are being compiled as mips16?
