Looks to me like a missing build-dependency on gcc-multilib.
Adding this one resolves the issue (and the package is installed on
gabrielli already, that's why it doesn't happen there).
The other option would be to remove the mips-special-code - but please
don't ask me why this was added.
Looks to me like related to #329074. I'll let the answer to that to
someone more knowledgeable.
