binary incompatibility among mipsel buildds



Greetings!  Forwarded from a conversation between Andreas and me.
Suggestions most welcome.

Take care,

=============================================================================
Hi,

I need to admit: ugh. I'm by far not an porter enough for this, but
please send your results to d-mips@l.d.o. I'm happy to provide
hardware data (mayer and rem are swarm machines, phrixos is loongson
2f), and let other people access the machines here if helpful. I
probably could also arrange access to an swarm-class mipsel machine.
