Sorry, that's not true. According to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767291#15
it builds on mips, but not on all porter machines.

Ahhh, well. I confirm that the 0.10-2 changes need to be taken into
consideration now as well. I admit I do not have any personal interest
in blitz++. The only reason why I spent some time into it was that
years ago somebody asked me for help in this package and now it seems to
bit-rot while it has some users. If it creates extra trouble for you
and me we can most probably go with the current version in testing and
leave everything as is in unstable.

I have pinged debian-mips@l.d.o twice about this problem and told
them that I will ask for ROM on mips ... :-(
Thanks for your work on the Debian release
Andreas.
