I'm busy at the moment and can't check it on my MIPS machine at the
moment - but it looks really strange.

atexist should be in libc.so.6:

gee:/src/gcc30:[1]$ nm /lib/libc.so.6  |grep atexit
0002f9b0 T __cxa_atexit
0011674c ? __elf_set___libc_atexit_element__cleanup__
0011674c a __start___libc_atexit
00116750 a __stop___libc_atexit
00119040 b added_atexit_handler.186
0002f970 T atexit
