Hi,

root-system FTBFS on mips64el with the error:

> Checking for krb5.h redirect ... /usr/include/krb5/krb5.h
> Checking for krb5_c_valid_cksumtype in krb5.h ... yes

This is because it tries to compile the test program with -mabi=32 which
fails at the linker stage because you can't mix 32-bit and 64-bit code
(the kerberos libraries were the 64-bit files).

I've added a patch which adds the linuxmips64 architecture (which was
partially there already) which fixes this for me. The 79-mips64el.patch
can be dropped into debian/patches which does this.

I haven't added any mips64 arch detection because it's a bit more
complicated since 'uname -r' doesn't work - you would have to run the C
compiler and test for some defines. This is a bit of a catch 22 since
the 'Makefile.<arch>' files are needed to specify where the compiler is.
The mips64el-drules.patch is a simpler way but will only work in the
Debian package.

Thanks,
James
