I had the same problem. The patch below solved the problem (which appears
only on that one place). After these changes teTeX compiled on the mips
without any problems. The patch undefs abort before the usage of va_arg
and redefines it after that. There are perhaps better solutions for
solving the problem (perhaps the one you mentioned?).
