Package sopt_2.0.0-2 FTBFS on mips and mipsel with following error:

> The following tests FAILED:
> 	  7 - test_sdmm (Failed)
> 	  9 - test_proximal (Failed)
> 	 10 - seeded_proximal (Failed)
> 	 13 - test_reweighted (Failed)
> Errors while running CTest
> Makefile:87: recipe for target 'test' failed
> make[1]: *** [test] Error 8

Full build log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=sopt&arch=mipsel&ver=2.0.0-2&stamp=1486632547&raw=0

These 4 tests fails because of alignment issue, and problem could be in eigen3 package.
Please take a look at this:

I have created and attached a patch which contains the necessary changes.
