+Subject: [PATCH] build: undefine "mips" to prevent build problems for MIPS
+ targets
+
+It turns out that the MIPS GCC compiler defines a "mips" cpp macro
+which was resulting in build failures on MIPS so we need to
+undefine the "mips" macro during build.  As this should be safe
+to do in all architectures, just add it to the compiler flags by
+default.
+
+This was reported in the following GH issue:
