I spent some time on this today and thanks to a suggestion from someone
in IRC, I was able to determine that removing link-time optimization
fixed the mips64el build.  Specifically, these lines had to be removed:

-        SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES("${target}" PROPERTIES
-            INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION TRUE)

It is likely that since bibletime is a GUI application that it will not
benefit very much from link-time optimization.  Is it possible to drop
that property altogether?  If not, perhaps then conditionally only
setting it on known good architectures would be possible.

Regards,

-Roberto
