This assertion failure happens in libc6. I'm inclined to reassign the
bug, but I'll leave this to more knowledgeable people. The fact that
the eglibc testsuite is currently disabled on mipsel¹ does not exactly
increase confidence in the libc6 package on that architecture.

It will probably not help, but could you please upgrade libc6 to the
version in unstable (2.10.2-5) and retry?
