abort instruction for Mips?

[Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de>]

For glibc I could use [1] an abort instruction as fail safe to abort a
program.  Is there any way to achieve this?

For example on m68k I can use:
/* An instruction which should crash any program is `illegal'.  */
#define ABORT_INSTRUCTION asm ("illegal")

and on ix86:
/* An instruction which should crash any program is `hlt'.  */
#define ABORT_INSTRUCTION asm ("hlt")

[1]  It works also without.
