Building a MIPS/N64 cross-compiler on i686 is basically not supported by
the tool chain (same in master:
<http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64-4.8.3.i686-linux>.)

Commit e795890 tried to capture that, but it did not capture this
specific case because gcc-cross-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 is not a
cross-compilation job.

Commit 6ee0148 makes sure that Hydra will not build it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
