FWIW, I tried a build with today's unstable on mips, after enabling
the server packages again. There was one failure in the testsuite:
...
test geometry ... ok
test horology ... failed (ignored)
test insert ... ok
test create_function_1 ... ok
...
polymorphism ... ok
test stats ... ok
============== shutting down postmaster ==============
==================================================
92 of 93 tests passed, 1 failed test(s) ignored.
==================================================
The resulting sever packages installed fine, no obvious failure
(but OTOH I don't know what a serious test would be).
