The holdup is a shortage of glibc maintainers, obviously.

This is a bug in your package:
  In file included from /usr/include/asm/bitops.h:16,                                                   
                   from md_super.c:33:                                                                  

Do not use <asm/bitops.h> from userspace; it is not portably usable
from userspace.  The MIPS headers are a perfect example of why not; in
several cases the MIPS bitops call local_irq_save.
