  I saw this with another package (can't remember which one it was at the
moment).  I think it was because the package mk files explicitly specifies
host=mipseb--netbsd to the configure script, and the configure script
doesn't recognize mipseb.  I manually modified the configure script to
accept mipseb in addition to mipsel.
