Re: __atomic_test_and_set() and mips o32 - help wanted

I'm not sure the smartest option is to place the emulation load most on
the machines with the least computational resources to spare.

NetBSD used to be about actually _supporting_ old hardware, not tyranny
of the recent majority.
If you want software that _supports_ old MIPS, I'd suggest old NetBSD.
It might not help, but, depending on your use case, sit might be worth
trying.
If you have trouble finding it - I think ftp.netbsd.org no longer
contains anything older than a version or two - I've got copies of
versions from 1.0 to 6.1.2 I can hook you up with. (I forget why I
stopped at 6.1.2.)
