Not sure what you mean by "seems to work".

With my patch, to follow, here is my current state for
uClibc/mipsel with 2.4.17+sf.net on Korva/Markham VR41xx:

Everything built and ran (apparently) correctly, accept as noted.

ldso    -- won't build (expected)
malloc  -- OOM but okay with smaller # allocs
math    -- runs but lots of inconsistencies
misc    -- won't build
pthread -- won't build (expected)


% stdlib/mallocbug
PASS: malloc expands info table              # is this correct result?

% stdlib/qsort
Got -1 entries from scandir().
Got -1 entries from scandir() using alphasort().
Calling qsort()
Segmentation fault

% # all other stdlib functions work fine

% mmap/mmap
mmap: Invalid argument
