While I'd love to, "this is a job for Debian (mips) man!". What I mean
is, someone has to do this on a machine and tell me if this is a
regression (since doko has ruled out the possiblity of GCC 4.2 being
the preferred build toolchain component, we have confirm that it's a
regression).

Possible, since it doesn't look like this:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=lapack&arch=s390&ver=3.0.20000531a-1.2&stamp=1202005519&file=log&as=raw
That is outright mysterious, though the blame goes on gcc
there. Again, this (according to knowledgeable people) is a gcc
bug. doko is working on fixing it (or working around it temporarily).

True. And another thing I wish to place on record is my appreciation
and gratitude to the porters who help keep a mammoth distribution sane
on so many architectures.

Accepted; I've seen a few people do that. But an esoteric (from my
POV) architecture would be too cool! :-)
