I've tried to reproduce the Erlang FTBFS in qemu (both on malta and
loongson-virt machines) and failed to do so.
Also, I've found a thread on linux-kernel mailing list, which might be
relevant (see [1]). It describes some EFAULT on
mips64 which were introduced roughly at the same time when Erlang
started to FTBFS. I've run the test they
suggested (on qemu on loongson-virt machine).

The test program is compiled using gcc-14 (14.2.0-16).

The test program aborts on kernels 6.1.0-29-loongson-3 (6.1.123-1) and
6.12.10-loongson-3 (6.12.10-1)

The test program does not abort on kernel 5.10.0-30-loongson-3 (5.10.218-1)
