Build for Debian MIPS

[Ross Tajvar]

Hi,

I am currently using BIRD 1.6.3 on an Edgerouter Pro. The CPU architecture
is MIPS and the OS is based on Debian Stretch. Because of the latter, I can
use the Debian package repos to install BIRD 1.6.3, however I would like to
upgrade to BIRD 2 which does not have a package built. I noticed there is
another repo (located at http://bird.network.cz/debian) which maintains
BIRD 2 for Debian Stretch, however those packages are not built for the
MIPS architecture.

I tried building the package myself in a virtual system emulated with qemu,
but the build failed with the following error:

> obj/lib/fletcher16_test 2>/dev/null && touch obj/lib/fletcher16_test.ok
> obj/lib/fletcher16_test: t_fletcher16_compute 0.007899378s

Would it be possible to add MIPS as a build target for the bird.network.cz
repo?

Thanks,
Ross
