have any idea why package cups does occasionally fail to build on loong64?

Thanks for your reply and help.
There is no additional need for architectural support for cups.
Currently, the cups package has been built and installed.
Please view
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-loong64/main/c/cups/.
Sometimes fail to build in Debian Package Auto-Building ENV due to source
package version upgrades, but are quickly fixed by the cups maintainers.
when you look at the link I provided:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=cups&arch=loong64
you can see that building cups failed several times. It even failed twice
for version 2.4.7-1.2+b1 and once for 2.4.7-3. Those failures have nothing
to do with source package version upgrades and please be assured that the
maintainer didn't fix anything but just gave back the package to the
buildd. Such unreliable builds might be fine with the ports architectures,
but not really acceptable for release architectures (I am not part of the
release team, so I hope nobody disagrees with this statement).
This issue looks like a typical task for the porters of an architecture,
so I have a favour to ask you. Could the Loongson team please have a look
at it and maybe provide a patch to make the build more reliable?
