Thanks for the info, I was able to reproduce the bug, and what fails is not the compilation, but the test I run after the compilation. $ strings /usr/lib/libsvn_subr-1.so.1.0.0 | egrep '(HOME|.subversion/servers)' /etc/subversion/servers ~/.subversion/servers HOME That is what I suspected, it is the svn library that tries to read/write in the users home, not my package. I'll write a work-around, but it is pretty silly to me that just mipsel buildds define HOME pointing to a directory that exists but is not writeable...
