mips64 was already bisected, and reported upstream, not much help
there .. I've already reached out to some more hardcore mips folks for
more help, so hopefully that works :D

The musl one didn't bisect in my attempt(s), but in that config it is
an easy issue to trigger. I'm out of time to debug it for the next two
weeks, hence why I'm broadcasting to see if others want to take a
look.
