Not yet done with bisecting, but in the remaining range, I suspect
this commit:

commit 0d328f22aad77fab31f5e0ca8a976746002f4db0

    disable no ifuncs no mips error for now.

That won't fly for cross-compilation. I'll finish bisecting this
initial issue and then continue with the other MIPS-related issues
mentioned in this ticket. (I'd probably open a new ticket for those?)
