qemu-mipsn32el and qemu-mipsn32 problems with coreutils-9*, fadvise64 or fallocate related?

Host environment

• Gentoo Linux
• Linux demeter 5.15.52-gentoo-dist #1 SMP Sun Jul 3 05:21:48 -00 2022 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
• qemu-mipsn32el user mode emulation via binfmt-misc
• QEMU version: both 7.0 and 7.1

Emulated/Virtualized environment

• Release engineering chroot-based stage build
• -march=mips64 -mabi=n32 -mplt

Description of problem

• Recently about 15 of the ca. 250 packages in our system set fail during make install. A typical error is

/usr/bin/install: error deallocating '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.22.4/image/usr/bin/troff': Invalid argument

• Given the timing and the involved binaries (most of the times install, but also cp), I suspect this was triggered by coreutils-9
• The problem seems to only occur on ext4 (our release engineering box), but not on btrfs (my home development box)
• The problem seems to be limited to n32 (both big and little endian)

Here's a run with strace functionality enabled:
