I've had a small look at this (I don't have much at the moment).
When you run your example with LD_DEBUG=libs, you get the error:
/usr/lib/mips-linux-gnu/libgc.so.1: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: __data_start (fatal)
The Boehm GC headers (on some arches) indicate that the calling program
is expected to define __data_start somewhere (presumably by gcc) and
this isn't happening.
