  All other tests pass.
  
  I tried on Loongson 2F and MIPS IP32 (SGI O2) CPUs.
  config.guess on Loongson 2F says
  
  mips64el-unknown-openbsd4.7
  
  Output of gcc -v is attached
  
  Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/mips64el-unknown-openbsd4.7/3.3.5/specs
  Configured with: 
  Thread model: single
  gcc version 3.3.5 (propolice)

That is an ancient version of GCC.  Have you tried some slightly newer
version?

I attempted to reproduce this on a mips running GNU/Linux without
success.  But I used a different compiler, different kernel (denorms
often trap to the kernel), and might have used a different configuration
than you (you didn't say which one you used).
