I set a build farm with gcc-4.9 for mips64el. It works well: it has no more failures than your amd64 one. All the buildlogs can be found in http://mips.wicp.net:9998/mips2/buildlog/ I noticed ctpp2 failed due to symbols problems on both amd64(pbuilder) and mips64el(sbuild). It seems that you didn't report bug on it. > > I'll work on fixing the build failures in [2], help is of course appreciated. > Almost all build failures are analyzed and should be easy to fix (exceptions > e.g. #746883).
