MIPS64 port

[sbahra]

@cognet - I can take this on, pending remote access to MIPS64 box.

Is there any progress on mips port?

[sbahra]

For MIPS, you can always just enable the GCC built-in port. That will be sub-optimal but might be with-in acceptable range and still correct. This falls back to using compiler built-ins. What do you think?

Regarding MIPS64 being first-class citizen, still didn't get access to a box. Would you be willing to provide access to one? Should be straight-forward.

It's a pity that I don't have an open access mips box for you at present. I am going to build it myself, since I don't have enough experience on GCC compiling, I'm not so sure about that.

Ok. I did push changes to master such that if you use “use CC builtins”, it will build on non-tier 1 platforms. Confirmed build works for sysbench with this.

I found a MIPS box on the GCC compile farm. I’ll see if I can bring it up tomorrow night.

Hi,

ck 0.7.1 on mips64el build (with CC builtins though):
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ck&arch=mips64el&ver=0.7.1-1&stamp=1627051905&raw=0

otoh, mipsel (32bit) did fail:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ck&arch=mipsel&ver=0.7.1-1&stamp=1627045422&raw=0
