Note that Debian is currently not affected by the issue, at least for
that syscall, probably because we use a different baseline ISA (ie
MIPS64R2).

I have backported the issue upstream in version 2.31. Backporting it
into 2.30 requires a tiny bit more of work and testing, I'll do that in
the next days. Note that we are waiting for the green light from the
release team to upload 2.30 to unstable, so there is no need to fix
version 2.29.
