I'm commenting here from a position of ignorance: Would SGI hardware make good build machines for the architecture? I'm asking because I have a 3 SGI Octanes I could give away. Last I checked, stretch kernels did not work on these machines, but I would like to be wrong. Is the problem with the linux port, or is it related with Debian's compilation options? According to this information from Gentoo https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MIPS/Hardware_Requirements#IP30:_Octane it should be semi-functional, but that information might be out of date.
