Docker cross compile - remove MIPS target platform

starypatyk commented 3 weeks ago

Follow up to #1297 and #1298

Given that:

MSRV was moved up to 1.73.
Even with rust 1.71 the MIPS target did not build successfully.
Apparently there is hardly any interest in maintaining the MIPS platform.
Last but not least - the Docker image for cross-compilation did not build - since MIPS target was demoted to tier 3 at 1.72.

I propose to remove the MIPS architecture entirely from the Docker image for cross compilation.

After these changes, I was able to:

Build the Docker image.
Cross compile for all remaining platforms.
Verify that x86_64 and aarch64 binaries work fine on Ubuntu 22.04 (regular PC) and Raspberry PI OS (64-bit/bookworm/Raspberry Pi 3) respectively.

All good to me. If someone pops up in need of MIPS support, he/she is more than welcome to contribute and maintain that him/herself.

I have updated the Cross compiling Wiki page to reflect current status.
