Indeed, it didn't. I should note that the current gcc I'm using is from
Debian and was likely built with a 32-bit mipsel kernel; I upgraded my
kernel to a 64-bit one and I'd like to build a newer gcc version using it.

Here is some info on my crt1.o and my build's crtbegin.o and crtend.o, as
provided by objdump -a:

gcc-build/gcc/n32/crtbegin.o: file format elf32-ntradlittlemips
gcc-build/mipsel-linux-gnu/n32/libgcc/crtbegin.o: file format
elf32-ntradlittlemips
gcc-build/gcc/n32/crtend.o: file format elf32-ntradlittlemips
gcc-build/mipsel-linux-gnu/n32/libgcc/crtend.o: file format
elf32-ntradlittlemips
/usr/lib/crt1.o: file format elf32-tradlittlemips

I also did a readelf -a on these files; the output is rather long but can
be seen here:

gcc-build/gcc/n32/crtbegin.o: http://sprunge.us/MjbI
gcc-build/mipsel-linux-gnu/n32/libgcc/crtbegin.o: http://sprunge.us/RNUf
gcc-build/gcc/n32/crtend.o: http://sprunge.us/ATGE
gcc-build/mipsel-linux-gnu/n32/libgcc/crtend.o: http://sprunge.us/AQQY
/usr/lib/crt1.o: http://sprunge.us/TKaE

Thanks again for helping me out; hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.
