Short version:  The dep-wait didn't work for mips and mipsel for some
reason, so can you binNMU ruby1.8 on mips and mipsel again?

Long version:

The binNMU doesn't seem to have used the right libc6-dev version on mips
or mipsel.  For mips:

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=ruby1.8;ver=1.8.6-1%2Bb1;arch=mips;stamp=1177496689

Toolchain package versions: libc6-dev_2.3.6.ds1-9 linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-6 gcc-4.1_4.1.1-21 g++-4.1_4.1.1-21 binutils_2.17-3 libstdc++6-4.1-dev_4.1.1-21 libstdc++6_4.1.1-21

And for mipsel:

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=ruby1.8;ver=1.8.6-1%2Bb1;arch=mipsel;stamp=1177755123

Toolchain package versions: libc6-dev_2.3.6.ds1-13 linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7 gcc-4.1_4.1.1-21 g++-4.1_4.1.1-21 binutils_2.17-3 libstdc++6-4.1-dev_4.1.1-21 libstdc++6_4.1.1-21

So the problem with the ruby1.8-dev headers which caused bug #420325
still exists for mips and mipsel, and has caused xapian-bindings to fail
to build in the same way as in the original bug report:

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=xapian-bindings;ver=1.0.1-1;arch=mips;stamp=1181832758

/usr/include/unistd.h:270: error: declaration of 'int eaccess(const char*, int) throw ()' throws different exceptions
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/mips-linux/missing.h:43: error: from previous declaration 'int eaccess(const char*, int)'

(and the same error for mipsel).

The build logs for xapian-bindings I link to above show:

Toolchain package versions: libc6-dev_2.5-7 linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7 gcc-4.1_4.1.2-12 g++-4.1_4.1.2-12 binutils_2.17cvs20070426-6 libstdc++6-4.1-dev_4.1.2-12 libstdc++6_4.2-20070528-1

(and those for mipsel show the same version), so a binNMU now should fix
this problem.
