Surprizingly, the mipsel 32 bits variant turned out to work normally, contrary to the 64 bits ISA (at least in Qemu context). I opened Bug#981397[2] to proceed to the removal to buy us some time.

I would generally agree, but in this case I understood the code was compiled (in the background) on the end user's machine[3]. I don't exclude that I could have misunderstood the mechanism, so am triple checking at the moment. I probably should have put the link in the patch header, by the way. [3] https://brian2.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/computation.html In any way, I guess putting more regular compiler flags at first should give a far safer outcome than current architecture dependent selection.
