But we have access to porter boxes of all architectures, so I could try a build with a patch. But as https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libdbd-mysql-perl shows this is not only about mips but about various architectures, and the quick summary on IRC was "looks like a big-endian issue". Maybe this makes it easier? There was also an offer of a Debian Perl member to try and check on a powerpc machine of his (where it also fails); cc'ing our list for further cooperation. Thanks for attending to this issue so quickly!
