The varios MIPS buildds run 4.19 and some even 4.9 kernels
(AFAIHH due to hardware/patch constraints), which has led
to problems (e.g. I had to disable klibc builds of mksh on
them because klibc now uses Linux 5.1 features). AIUI this
is being worked on, but not yet resolved.

Ah, ouch. Those config tools where doing that is easier than
doing the actual manipulation…

Thanks again for digging into this,
