The old minc package has been decrufted, so the missing mips*el builds
shouldn't be blocking any longer.

But the minc package (before the split) has built successfully on
mipsel, so this FTBFS is blocking the transition, since minc-tools is
missing a current build on mipsel.

I haven't looked at this build failure in particular, but I do know the
FPUs on the Loongson machines are a little suspect (giving _almost_
correct answers to _most_ things) so I would not be surprised if this
was a hardware problem.

Since libminc has never successfully built on mipsel, this bug
shouldn't have been serious in the first place (regardless of what was
causing it).

Hi,

I'm just forwarding this mail from upstream.  From my perspective it is
possibly not a bug in libminc but rather a problem of certain mips
hardware.  I wonder in how far this is a serious bug of libminc and
should be downgraded to important (at maximum).

Kind regards

   Andreas.
