+# with gcc 4.3.3 and MIPS target, gcc "internal compiler error: segmentation fault" error
+# occurs when compiling Applydeltarpm.cc. I didn't find the exact reason leading to this
+# error, but it should be related to how boost tribool type is interpreted by g++. So provide
+# this mips workaround for now. We'll come back later to check whether it's still required after
+# upgrading to 4.5.0.
