None yet, I'm sorry -- I simply did not have time to look into it yet,
and it got lost on my long TODO list.

I checked now quickly my access, and I have access OK to machines
where I can test arm64. So I should be able to debug it.. when I'll
get a bit of time :) Sorry for my lack of time, the only thing I can
tell to justify it is that I am busy now working on Castle Game Engine
6.4 (https://castle-engine.sourceforge.io/wp/), and two games using
Castle Game Engine (https://www.facebook.com/CATastropheGames/) :)

It seems I don't have access to a machine running ppc64, and you asked
for it. So if you can reask for it, I would be grateful. I have access
to asachi.debian.org and barriere.debian.org, and running "schroot -l"
on them doesn't show me a ppc64 option.

As for mips and mipsel: yes, I would be grateful for a porter box with
mips and/or mipsel too.

Michalis
