Re: Bug#760865: calibre: FTBFS on mips: thread.error: can't start new thread

This looks like a bug in the mips kernel/python/buildd. It should be
possible to at least start as many threads as there are CPU cores
(that's what calibre's build system uses to determine how many
parallel build threads to use), but apparently that's not the case.

I'll work around it in calibre to force cpu_count to 1 in the build
system on mips in the meantime.
