gtk4 4.12.0 in experimental has test failures on multiple buildds.
Of those, mips64el and mipsel seem to have the same failure mode:

These are "reftests", which work by rendering the same image in two
different ways and then doing a pixel-by-pixel comparison. Because
Debian buildds do not give us a way to capture test artifacts, the images
are output into the log with uuencode, for example these:

The way these work is that they are output in sets of three: a reference
image, an actual output, and an artifically-enhanced diff image to
highlight what the difference is. See #1024391, #993550, #1003348 for
previous examples of architecture-specific rendering differences (#1024391
was not on mips*, but has details of how to run individual tests which
might be useful, while the other two were on mips*el).
I haven't reconstructed the actual images for a visual comparison yet.
If the mis-rendering doesn't seem release-critically bad then we'll work
around this by ignoring those particular test failures on mips*el.
mips*el are the only architectures where we are using the softpipe GL
driver (because llvmpipe appears to be otherwise broken there) so that is a
possible root cause.
Having to investigate and work around failing tests in GL-dependent
packages on mips*el is becoming a significant time sink for the GNOME team,
so I would appreciate it if mips porters could fix its llvmpipe so that it
can be back in the same situation as every other release architecture.
