The package liblo runs a test suite at build time. This test suite
failed in mipsel (but not mips)[1]. I tried to reproduce the issue in
eder.d.o but it passed.
Liblo does use unaligned access (liblo had to be removed from sparc
for this reason).
But I'm confused as to why does the buildd error out and the porterbox
doesn't. Is it possible to (programatically) instruct the kernel to
not raise a SIGBUS?

rem and eder are different hardware.
Yes, Some MIPS CPUs (like OCTEON) can be, and are, configured to handle
unaligned accesses. Others cannot.
The kernel may be able to emulate unaligned accesses for integer loads
and stores, but I think the problem may be that the FPU emulator cannot
do unaligned accesses.
Really the application that is doing this should be fixed.

Also are you sure your package
builds with /bin/sh=bash (just asking because I have seen that issue
with another package recently)?
