Right, thanks for letting us know. Then, it joins the club with 32/32 bit powerpc and m68k, both of which also share the FTBFS with 32-bit mips*. I happened to do some data mining on the "System Information" part of bug reports recently, and thus can provide some stats. Bug reports provide data on contributors rather than users, but that's good too. In 2016 (plus a smaller half of Jan 2017) on relevant archs: powerpc (ppc) 33 powerpc (ppc64) 9 mipsel (mips64) 4 mipsel (mips) 1 mips (mips64) 2 mips (mips) 0 mips on amd64 2 m68k 0 Total: 13178 so especially powerpc would want this fixed.
