Unfortunaly, the CI cross builds aren't working at the moment (the buildenv images are based on Debian Buster ("stable" at the time images were built), and nettle's ci scripts do apt-get update and apt-get install, which now attempts to get Bullseye packages (new "stable" since a week ago)).
Images now updated to debian stable (thanks, Daiki!). But we'll have to drop mips tests for now, since current setup assumes archs under tests are available in debian, and mips has been discontinued as a debian release architecture. Other cross builds now work (change to drop mips is on the master-updates branch). If you have ideas on how to revive mips tests, that's welcome, but for now we'll have to do without.
I would like to keep testing on big-endian. s390x is big-endian, right? And so is powerpc64 (non -el). So it would be nice to configure cross tests on one of those platforms configured with --disable-assembler, to test portability of the C code. Are s390x cross tools and qemu-user in good enough shape (it's an official debian release arch), or is powerpc64 a better option?
