Not sure, they ( o32 binaries of 5.99.19 vintage, last working userland
I have before MIPS got borked ) crashed immediately even with
COMPAT_NETBSD32 so for now at least it doesn't seem to be a loss. The
problem this is supposed to work around is that pkg_add gets its
MACHINE_ARCH from the build process where it's mips64eb while pkgsrc
via uname got it via COMPAT_NETBSD32 sysctl which returns mipseb.
Without compat it gets mips64eb. 

I'm not sure why I don't get this kind of problem on Loongson.

Yes.
