The same thing happened on eder: a build with noopt passes its tests. To keep the g++-5 transition moving, I'm tempted to NMU a version of protobuf that builds with -O0 on mips{,el}, and drop this bug down to important severity; and then the mips porters and the protobuf maintainers can work out what is actually going on and do a more targeted fix, without stalling various transitions in the meantime. Does that seem a reasonable plan? S
