Fresh cross compiler tarball: 
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross/downloads/crossx86-mips-linux-musl-6315004f.tar.xz

I'll build a new tarball when .so support works. Until then, it's safe 
to upgrade musl in this one for testing purposes:

CC="mips-linux-musl-gcc" ./configure --prefix=<prefix>/mips-linux-musl 
--disable-shared && make all install

It works well enough to make "Hello, world!" and such happy. Threads 
indeed don't link.

With valediction,
