I think you need to change the ABI type in the ELF header:

How does binfmt_misc handle the various MIPS ABIs then?

It doesn't and it's a problem.

Very interesting. Is there a bug report for that?


It’s not a bug in binfmt_misc. binfmt_misc is simply a loader that picks an interpreter based on a file’s signature.

The problem comes from a poor design choice in MIPS, which chose to use the same ABI type identifier for different ABI variants.

Thanks,
