So, what can a developer do when builds for a package consistently fail on
mips/mipsel? Buildd logs are not very helpful in this case since they just
show uninformative assembler failure messages. I also made several unanswered
requests to debian-admin@lists.debian.org for build-depends installation on
any developer accessible mips/mipsel machine to try looking at the build to
figure out the problem.

I'm not sure what the next step to take would be.
