Hi James,

I can enable mips64el when I package the next revision or Git snapshot.
I have tried to build on mips and mipsel with "MinSizeRel" (-O0)
optimization but it never really worked. The latest versions of
FreeOrion require more than 4 GB of RAM and with less the build process
becomes very slow due to swapping. The issue is somewhere in the
ConditionParsers but I don't know how it can be optimized.

Regards,

Markus
