If you try to build linux-mipsel-zero-fastdebug, this happens:

/home/shade/jdk/build/linux-mipsel-zero-fastdebug/hotspot/variant-zero/libjvm/objs/jvmtiRedefineClasses.o: In function `unsigned long long Atomic::PlatformCmpxchg<8u>::operator()<unsigned long long>(unsigned long long volatile*, unsigned long long, unsigned long long, atomic_memory_order) const':
/home/shade/jdk/src/hotspot/os_cpu/linux_zero/atomic_linux_zero.hpp:130: undefined reference to `__atomic_compare_exchange_8'
/home/shade/jdk/src/hotspot/os_cpu/linux_zero/atomic_linux_zero.hpp:130: undefined reference to `__atomic_compare_exchange_8'
/home/shade/jdk/src/hotspot/os_cpu/linux_zero/atomic_linux_zero.hpp:130: undefined reference to `__atomic_compare_exchange_8'
/home/shade/jdk/src/hotspot/os_cpu/linux_zero/atomic_linux_zero.hpp:130: undefined reference to `__atomic_compare_exchange_8'

I think it relates to JDK-8253970 that introduced atomic_compare_exchange on those paths, but maybe the issue exists for longer. GCC's libatomic is the library that provides runtime support for atomics not supported in hardware, which seems to include 8-byte CAS for MIPS, but not any other OpenJDK platform.
