I've narrowed this down with some help from #bsdmips:

env SHELL=/bin/sh chroot /mipsbuild  --> no issues running commands

env SHELL=/bin/csh chroot /mipsbuild
env SHELL=/bin/tcsh chroot /mipsbuild --> both of these cause illegal
instructions in qemu-mips

Juregen came up with a patch that makes the amd64 version of qemu-mips
work, so there's no need to xbuild the i386 version now, so thanks for
that!
