Thanks for the explanation.

I've noticed the article from "http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Software_floating_point";
says that the glibc's soft-float implementation supports
floating-point exceptions and rounding modes.
I'm not sure whether the utilities is not implemented for mips, or
just compiled out by default.
I'd like the first after checking the source codes, right?

Yes, I've found your patch broken after the non-PIC ABI change, which
deleted the definition of
macro ELF_MACHINE_NO_PLT in dl-machine.h.
Anyway, the LD_AUDIT facility failed now, so, could I assume that
there is something wrong in dynamic loader?
further more, the glibc I tested is 2.8 release by codesourcery, does
this test still fail on head version or newer like eglibc-2.10?

Thanks again for your enthusiastic reply.
