-In #850887, the Debian Technical Committee was asked to choose a
-solution for #840227, a bug that prevents a significant number of
-packages from building on the mips architecture. Given the upcoming
-Stretch freeze, this issue is urgent.
-
-As an interim measure, using its powers under section 6.1.4 of the
-Debian Constitution, the Technical Committee overrules Matthias
-Klose's decision to revert the NMU of binutils fixing #840227. The
-committee requests Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer to make a new
-NMU fixing #840227. This NMU should not go through the delayed queue.
-
-The committee requests the release team to support the interim nature of this solution and if a permanent solution is adopted before the release of Stretch, to consider including that solution in Stretch even if the freeze criteria would not normally permit such consideration.
-
-In addition, the committee requests the stable release managers for Stretch to consider including the eventual upstream solution for this issue into a stretch update.
-
-This interim decision stands until the release of Stretch, until it is replaced by resolution, or until the binutils maintainer fixes #840227 in some other manner.
