Check fontconfig/fc-arch/fcarch.tmpl.h.  It just means that armel and mipsel 
have the same signature (which is hardly surprising).  If you have a better 
name for the platform, toss it NOW and I'll change it in 2.8 (since the cache 
version is changed).  It's not a big deal.

And, you were not cross-compiling, right?
