Architectures/MIPS/BuildIssues

MIPS specific patches needed

 * binutils: needs MIPS support code
 * device-mapper-multipath: needs MIPS support code in kpartx header file
 * filesystem: we have /lib32 and /usr/lib32 in N32 systems
 * gc: libatomic_ops included in gc needs MIPS support code
 * gdb: needs MIPS support code
 * gmp: needs ABI patch
 * gnupg: needs MIPS support code
 * guile: needs MIPS support code
 * libaio: needs MIPS support code
 * libatomic_ops: needs MIPS support code
 * libgcrypt: needs MIPS support code
 * mesa: no WMB defined for MIPS
 * mpfr: needs MIPS support code
 * numpy: no MIPS CPU defined in GA version
 * openssl: needs MIPS support code
 * ppp: /lib32 and /usr/lib32 should not be used, we only have one ABI
 * redhat-rpm-config: support of mips architecture in rpmrc added
 * rpm: support of mips architecture in rpmrc added
 * SDL: SDL_config.h hasn't consider MIPS
 * systemtap: needs MIPS support code
 * tcp_wrapper: weak_symbol compile error, need #include 

Feature disabling

 * curl: disable valgrind
 * gcc: build without cloog, ppl, multilib
 * pstoedit: disable libEMF
 * vala: disable devhelp
 * xorg-x11-drivers: disable drivers that wont be used on MIPS

Java issue
Some packages can't be built with java support as we don't have OpenJDK yet
 * avahi
 * bison
 * ca-certificates
 * ecj: bootstrap
 * gettext
 * graphviz
 * java-1.5.0-gcj: need bootstrap = 1
 * setools
 * tetex-tex4ht
 * tzdata

MONO issue
Some packages can't be build with MONO support as we don't have MONO binaries yet
 * avahi
 * gmime

Compile time / build parameter issue

 * allegro: remove timidity++-patches dependency, timidity++-patches can't be built in MIPS
 * glibc: consider mips64el architecture as well
 * pciutils: consider mips64el architecture as well

Test bug

 * bash: unknown issue in %check step, skipped
 * elfutils: tests always fail. disable test

Disabling -Werror needed (compiler issue?)

 * gnome-power-manager
 * metacity

F12 GA version not working, need update, not MIPS specific

 * clutter-gtk: missing dependencies on gir-repository-devel
 * gobject-introspection: compile option issue, fixed in F12 update RPMs
