Dear IceCat users,

In case you are interested, I found the solution to my problem which was:
sometimes images are not displayed under GNU IceCat 3.6.13 on mips64el.

To let them be displayed, you first have to comment out the following line of
your .mozconfig:

    ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-pipe -O3"

As in:

    #ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-pipe -O3"

Then build the program with `./configure && make && make install`.

Note for MIPS: you also have to patch the file configure before the build [1]:

    patch -p0 < Work-around....patch
    autoconf2.13 configure.in >configure
