Surprising that it fails so messily (the front end seems to think -fsanitize=address is an accepted command line option), but libasan does indeed seem not available on mipsel [0].

OK, so it seems this method to track down the issue on mips does not work.

Well, I guess apt-get is permitted for sudo but not apt-file.  So I can
probably install valgrind inside the chroot environment.  I've never
worked with valgrind.  What am I supposed to do?

On the other hand:  Is valgrind possibly able to uncover issues also
on any other architecture?

Definitely.  We obviously could need some help.

Kind regards
