I recently obtained a mipsel box, and invested the time to get
it running the latest debian/testing.  So I actually now have a 
uClibc test system for mipsel.  I just compiled up the latest and
greatest and sure enough -- just as you say dlopen is indeed
segfaulting.  I'll take a look and see if I can figure out the
problem.  Thanks!
