iceweasel mipsel builds failing

[Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>]

Hi,

Please could anyone suggest what is wrong with iceweasel builds on mipsel?

It has failed twice on eysler at the same stage (linking libxul.so),
despite always being able to build on that buildd in the past.  Perhaps
using a lot of memory and doing heavy swapping?

Maybe it is worth giving back on buildd mayer in case it is any more
powerful?

I was hoping to test if the fix for #692053 (relating to page size)
helps at all with identical symptoms seen on loongson-2f.  This would be
a relief, because webkit is too unstable running JavaScript on this arch
(and that issue was downgraded to 'important'), and so iceweasel would
be the only alternative I think.

Thanks!
