You apparently fail to see that building the packages on mips uncovers bugs that would otherwise be there, but take a longer time to uncover on the 'mainstream' platforms.
This is not generally true. There are are classes of bugs that appear on different platforms _due to being different platforms_, not just because they were latent bugs waiting to be discovered. I presume that packages that require as much efficiency as possible (like Charles is implying in his packages) are very likely to implement platform-specific hacks/optimizations to run faster. It can be considered bad design, ugly and whatnot, but it is irrelevant if nobody ever uses other platforms. Saludos, Felipe Sateler
