The machine is a qemu VM but people on the debian-mips mailing list
are reporing the same problem on read MIPS hardware.
That's another instance of the binutils -PIE bug:

Indeed, thanks - and #538313 is for the workaround. Will upload soon.
Couldn't we just fix binutils to ignore -pie on mips and make it a noop instead
of having to patch a lot of packages?
I wouldn't object, obviously, but I'm still going to make the OpenSSH
problem go away rather than waiting for a binutils fix/workaround. I can
always undo this change later.
the binutils change was done in a few minutes, to ignore pie you would have to
change gcc-* as well. If somebody wants to provide such a patch ... I'll apply
it. However such a patch does has the disadvantage that you don't see when and
if pie gets fixed without rebuilding the packages.
