Summarizing for those not following #debian-gnome: It appears that the mips test failures are actually quite bad (as indicated by there being thousands of them rather than just a few), and might be causing #878519. Adrian Bunk has been looking into a solution. My changes in pkg-gnome git are not believed to be sufficient: in addition to turning off the JIT, Adrian says we need to fix atomic operations to not use jit/none/AtomicOperations-none.h. (It isn't at all clear to me why disabling the JIT has any effect on the atomic operations used, but that's how it's written...) smcv
