I had a quick look at the code, and the trigger is of course this in
xs/src/admesh/stl.h:

  #ifndef BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN
  #error "admesh works correctly on little endian machines only!"
  #endif

I was unable to see what should cause the code to only work on little endian
machines, and did not have a big endian machine easily available.  I would
recommend forwarding the issue to upstream and asking the ftpmasters to
remove the old mips binaries until upstream or some big endian porters have
time to look at it.
