Should this do it?
objdump -x "hellomips" | grep -i c

If so, apparently no mention of a c library:
architecture: mips:isa32r2, flags 0x00000102:
EXEC_P, D_PAGED
   STACK off    0x00000000 vaddr 0x00000000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**2

                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA, LINK_ONCE_SAME_SIZE
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
