'ardour' FTBFS on the mips*el architectures.
Rather than spending time on fixing these obscure errors, I would like
to just drop these architectures.
Reasoning:
- Ardour is a full-fledged DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for studio
  production (multichannel recordings, postproduction,...).
  I do not think there is any mips*el hardware out there that can be put
  to practical use for such a task.
- Just today the main porter suggested to remove the entire mipsel
  architecture (although not mips64el) from the supported archs.
