Re: [PATCH] gnu: atlas: Try to fix build on MIPS.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Apparently the patch didn’t really help:

  http://hydra.gnu.org/build/167383

Seems like it insists on compiling x86 assembly, which fails:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
probe_arch.o: In function `ATL_tmpnam':
/tmp/nix-build-atlas-3.10.2.drv-0/build/../ATLAS//CONFIG/include/atlas_sys.h:224:

[...]

make[2]: *** [xarchinfo_x86] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

At this point I think it’s OK to remove MIPS from ‘supported-systems’
for this package, with a comment pointing to these discussions in case
someone wants to investigate.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
