Yes. We'd need someone to look over the mips(el) cmpxchg to make an
adaptation for the new glibc-based locking primitivs. I've CC:ed
Guilhem, who can supply the details. I think he needs a specific variant
of cmpxchg which returns the old value.
I'm looking forward to patches, in particular to get the jit flying
again on mips ;(
The new package should be uploaded today, thanks to Arnaud.
