Are you setting TARGET_CPUTYPE during your build?  If so, to what?
Why not 'octeon'?  I'm not sure if that's your culprit, but 64-bit ELF
with the MIPS32 ISA should be impossible and is nonsensical.

It's possible some recent rtld change broke something, but it seems
unlikely.  Dynamic binaries have certainly been working for the dozens
of other people running n64 MIPS systems, including on Octeon. Seems
strange.

Oh, right, I meant DISTDIR, sorry.
