mips64le builds for 3.10.8 are failing

[yosifkit]

The linux/mips64le architecture is still in queue for building, but apparently builds are just failing constantly. Any idea when this will be fixed? Thanks

Extra info: Issue opened by my college: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98397 This causes the Dependabot to propose wrong updates to 3.11.0rc2.

I'm not sure when the mips64le image for 3.10.8 will be fixed. It looks like a linker issue, so we might have to file a bug upstream after some more investigation.

/tmp/ccjGWf8N.s: Assembler messages:

/tmp/ccjGWf8N.s:4867161: Error: branch out of range
lto-wrapper: fatal error: gcc returned 1 exit status

Note that the builds started to fail with the 3.10.8 release, 3.10.7 worked fine.

I don't think this is going to be fixed -- we've disabled mips64le support for now, and we're happy to reconsider adding it if we see evidence that it will be building successfully again.
