The same thing happened on eder: a build with noopt passes its tests.
To keep the g++-5 transition moving, I'm tempted to NMU a version of
protobuf that builds with -O0 on mips{,el}, and drop this bug down to
important severity; and then the mips porters and the protobuf
maintainers can work out what is actually going on and do a more
targeted fix, without stalling various transitions in the meantime. Does
that seem a reasonable plan?
