The glibc switched from sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) to ll/sc in its
default (even for -mips1) so the upgrade breaks on machines without
ll/sc emulation.
As we should have ll/sc emulation for all non SMP architectures this
is definitly a kernel issue.
I would guess that a new kernel is needed. Probably we should have a
check in glibc install to prevent users from marking their systems void.
