At least the main blocker for me is the lack of substitutes for the
things that fail to build with QEMU. So maybe one or a few machines
which were able to build those specific things would be sufficient to
provide some substitutes.

I did have a look at seeing if I could purchase hardware, but I didn't
really know what to look at. Maybe we could try putting out an appeal
for MIPS hardware, maybe someone has some they don't use and would
donate?
