Sure.  I'll have the mips binary removed if I don't hear back from the
mips porters (assuming you are not talking for the mips port per se?).

I'd prefer a solution that does not need touching the source package
again once (hopefully soon) FPU-enabled mips autobuilders start
operating. 

But I'm happy to take patches to that end for the time being.

Also, I appreciate the test coverage on mips, so would not want to have
it disabled unless it is absolutely necesary, even if it is unlikely
somebody would want to run psi4 on mips anytime soon.
