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.
