Hopefully you mean a backtrace from gdb.  Not finding a lot of info on doing a
C++ stacktrace (I haven't messed with C++ in years).

The testcase isn't stripped and has debugging info, but glibc-2.19, and
gcc-4.8.2 are stripped and built w/o debugging, so the backtrace doesn't
provide a lot of info.  I might be able to rebuild them w/ debugging, but gcc
takes almost 13+ hours on the Octane to build, while glibc takes another 3-4.

First, here is what strace shows:
set_tid_address(0x7797f2e8)             = 2532
set_robust_list(0x7797f2f0, 12)         = 0
futex(0x7fb06690, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
futex(0x7fb06690, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 1, NULL, 0) =
-1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
rt_sigaction(SIGRT_0, {0x8, [],
SA_RESTART|SA_INTERRUPT|SA_NODEFER|SA_NOCLDWAIT|0x7921a94}, NULL, 16) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGRT_1, {0x10000008, [],
SA_RESTART|SA_INTERRUPT|SA_NODEFER|SA_SIGINFO|SA_NOCLDWAIT|0x7921940}, NULL,
16) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [RT_0 RT_1], NULL, 16) = 0
getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, {rlim_cur=8192*1024, rlim_max=2147483647}) = 0
syscall(0x108e, 0x77929500, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x77929160) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
syscall(0x108e, 0x77929500, 0, 0x10100, 0, 0, 0x77929160

That last line is where you see it hanging until I send ctrl+c, with the first
argument to both being 0x108e (4238 in decimal, I typoed it as '4328' in my
original post), which is a futex call, per mips-o32-linux.xml in GDB:
  <syscall name="futex" number="4238"/>

Running in GDB, setting a catchpoint on syscall 4238 and upping the
heuristic-fence-post limit a fair bit to quiet some warnings down:

This first catchpoint doesn't hang:

After I type continue again, it hangs until interrupted:
