Hi,

hdf5 FTBFS on mips* [0][1][2] at the configure step of the openmpi build:

mips:
checking for mips-linux-gnu-gcc... mpicc.openmpi
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/«BUILDDIR»/hdf5-1.8.16+docs/debian/build-openmpi':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

mipsel:
checking for mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc... mpicc.openmpi
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/«BUILDDIR»/hdf5-1.8.16+docs/debian/build-openmpi':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

mips64el:
checking for mips64el-linux-gnuabi64-gcc... mpicc.openmpi
checking whether the C compiler works... no

Trying the mpicc.openmpi command on mips* porterboxes, it appears that
it segfault on mips and mipsel:

pini at etler:~/debian/hdf5$ schroot -r -c pini1
(sid_mipsel-dchroot)pini at etler:~/debian/hdf5$ /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi --showme
[etler:10169] *** Process received signal ***
[etler:10169] Signal: Segmentation fault (11)
[etler:10169] Signal code: Address not mapped (1)
[etler:10169] Failing at address: 0x5a01f988
[etler:10169] *** End of error message ***
Segmentation fault

(sid_mips-dchroot)pini at minkus:~$ /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi --showme
[minkus:23012] *** Process received signal ***
[minkus:23012] Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

[minkus:23012] Failing at address: 0x17a4f448
[minkus:23012] *** End of error message ***
Segmentation fault

And it reports a configuration problem on mips64el:
(sid_mips64el-dchroot)pini at etler:~/debian/hdf5$ /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi --showme
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
No underlying compiler was specified in the wrapper compiler data file
(e.g., mpicc-wrapper-data.txt)

Thanks,
