Hi tbm,
many thanks for your offer!
ocaml-native-compilers is not available on mips simply because ocaml
upstream did not develop a backend of the native compiler for that
architecture. IOW it is not a matter of "problems".
So, if I correctly understood your post, we debian ocamlers don't need
such an access, upstream could need it. But I really think it is not a
matter of lacking mips access to develop the backend, but rather of
lacking manpower / interest.
Cheers.
