hey folks--

the notmuch 0.27 release candidates are failing to build on the debian
mipsel build daemons:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=notmuch&arch=mipsel&ver=0.27%7Erc0-1&stamp=1527466396&raw=0
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=notmuch&arch=mipsel&ver=0.27%7Erc1-1&stamp=1528017305&raw=0

They both fail the test suite here:

I've tried to replicate the problem over on eller.debian.org (the mipsel
porterbox) but when i build 0.27~rc1 over there in an schroot, i don't
even get to T357 because the emacs_fcc_message() function hangs in this
loop (is this known to not work in an schroot or under similar
situations?):

can anyone suggest a good next debugging step?
