Package sivp fails to build on Debian for mips/mipsel arch with an error:

The reason for this failure is a lack of support for mips/mipsel in Debian package gluegen2, version 2.1.5.

Patch add-mips-support.patch that contains support for mips/mipsel is attached.


After rebuilding gluegen2 with these changes, 
I was able to build sivp successfully.

Could you please consider including these changes into gluegen2?



Best regards,
Dejan
