The function in question is supposed to > prevent cross-compilation from 32 to 64 bits; mips64el-linux-gnu uses 32-bit pointers, which is most likely the important issue. Note that we successfully cross-compile from i686 to mips64el-linux-gnu, so I guess that works. I would prefer not to disable these builds until we understand what's going on. Maybe it would be easy to fix. Mark
