The only thing which is somewhat unusual is that I use musl libc (http://www.musl-libc.org/). However I also use this on my x86_64 dev boxes and everything works fine.
I'm currently building an eglibc toolchain for MIPS just to rule that possibility out.
Ruled out.
Built a toolchain for mips-unknown-linux-gnu, using GCC 4.8.1 (crosstool-NG 1.19.0) and configured with eglibc 2.17. mtest still fails with the same symptoms.
