This seems advisable, since it doesn't look like this bug is being resolved in the short term. OTOH, if the only problem with the 2.33.2-2 version of clisp that's currently in sarge is that the mipsel binaries lack FFI support, then this bug can probably just be tagged 'sid' and ignored for the release (unless another RC bug shows up that affects sarge), in which case there's no hurry. > It would be nice to get FFI working on mipsel but I don't think I have the > time right now or the requisite knowledge.
