Generally speaking, yes, for official Debian architectures; see https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi for the available machines (look for "public" in the right-hand column) and https://dsa.debian.org/doc/guest-account/ for the procedure to gain access. This won't help with mips64el, but you could just ask your bug reporter ;-). See the thread starting at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/10/msg00704.html for details of the mips64el machine which is available via YunQiang Su. For this kind of problem another possibility is the GNU Compile Farm, which also includes a mips64el system; see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm for details. Regards, Stephen
