Hi mips folks,

I could need a hand with #108853 [1] raised by Paul in November (and CC'ed
here) and which has now lead to quantlib-swig being off testing.

In essence, we no longer build on mips64el and it is unclear why (see eg
[2]).  This has affected the last two (upstream) release, we built merrily
before that (if slowly, it is a huge package with one huge generated (swig)
source file for binding to quantlib, a large-ish C++ library).  I contacted
upstream via an issue ticket at their repo [3] but no leads there either
(apart from a helpful link to a SO answer on 'relocation truncated' [4] which
is part of the error we see.

We have over the years adjusted for multiple arches in debian/rules [5],
sometimes taking out debugging symbols, or tweaking optimisation, or added
special flags as needed. I suspect we need one now for mips64el but I would
not know where to look. Would you have any hints?

Many thanks in advance,  Dirk
