Hello,

The two builds on mipsel-aql-01.debian and mipsel-aql-02.debian.org
(both Processor: LS3A-RS780-1w (Quad Core Loongson 3A))failed, the third
try on mipsel-sil-01.debian.org (Processor: Rhino Labs UTM8) succeeded.

Eller also has the same hardware (Processor: Rhino Labs UTM8) as the
succeeding build-machine and gnutls builds reliably there. The failing
test (srp) takes 22 seconds there.

Is the Loongson that much slower?
