Hi Norbert,

Hmm, I don't know how to test it.  There is minkus.debian.org, which
is a mips machine (see db.debian.org).  I can schroot -b -c
sid_mips-dchroot, and that offers information on how to install
dependencies and so on:

jdg@minkus:~$ dd-schroot-cmd -c sid_mips-dchroot-a88... apt-get update
jdg@minkus:~$ dd-schroot-cmd -c sid_mips-dchroot-a88... apt-get build-dep asymptote
jdg@minkus:~$ schroot -r -c sid_mips-dchroot-a88...
(sid_mips-dchroot)jdg@minkus:~$ apt-get source asymptote

HTH,

   Julian
