A first machine with FPU have been installed yesterday in AQL and called
mips-aql-06. It has successfully built packages using floating point
which failed to build before:
- babl is now built in 27 minutes instead of getting killed after 12h
  due to timeout [1]
- chealpix is now built in 10 min instead of getting killed after 12h
  due to timeout [2]
- healpix-cxx is now built in 1h09 instead of getting killed after 78h
  of timeout [3]

In addition it has 4 cores instead of 2 cores on the previous machines,
so it builds package with parallel=n faster:
- samba is now built in 1h23 instead of 2h37 due to the additional
  cores [4]. 

More machines will be installed later so that we have full buildd
redundancy.

Cheers,
Aurelien
