Fixing MariaDB test failures on Debian MIPS

[Alexander Barkov <bar@mariadb.org>]

Hello,

I am looking for a DD willing to sponsor a temporal guess access to the 
Debian MIPS development machine, to fix a number of MariaDB test
failures that we cannot reproduce on other platforms.


This is an example log:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=mariadb-10.0&arch=mips&ver=10.0.21-2&stamp=1440742524

The following MariaDB tests fail:

    federated.federated_partition
    federated.federated_transactions
    federated.federated_innodb
    multi_source.gtid
    multi_source.multisource
    rpl.rpl_auto_increment
    rpl.rpl_auto_increment
    rpl.rpl_auto_increment
    rpl.rpl_invoked_features

Also, MariaDB tests sporadically do not start.


These problems make
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mariadb-10.0
display "Build-Attempted" instead of "Installed" in the Status column
on the mips and mipsel lines.


I recently fixed a number of problems on Debian ARM platforms,
the fixes are already in the MariaDB main source tree and should
propagate to the Debian sources soon.
My final goal is to have MariaDB install without problems on all
platforms supported by Debian.


Thanks for cooperation!
