ack.

If you are keen on trying this, go on. I don't have enough spare time to
care of it. Might make sense to open an upstream bug report about it,
though. Supporting a client-only build should come from them imho, you
never know how the build system will change and if it is possible to
keep up support for it.
Which parts of the client side are you interested in?
I could imagine that building cephfs alone is possible.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ceph
Dependency installability problem for ceph on mips64el:
ceph build-depends on missing:
- libboost-context-dev:mips64el (>= 1.67.0)

(like on various other architectures)
