pspp 1.0.0-1 FTBFS on mips64el architecture on debian

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Package: pspp
Version: 1.0.0-1

pspp 1.0.0-1 fails the regression test with 6 failed tests for the architecture 
mips64el
on debian. All other architectures pass.

See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pspp&suite=unstable

The previous version 0.10.2-2 passed the regression on mips64el. I suspect that 
the
failures are due to the switch from gcc6 to gcc7 and/or the switch in the gnulib
version or the recent changes in sys-file-reader due to 64bit and endianess.
0.10.2-2 failed to compile with gcc7 due to the old gnulib version.

See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=pspp&arch=mips64el

The failed tests are:

67: value labels                                    FAILED 
(sys-file-reader.at:428)
138: bad variable name in long string value label    FAILED 
(sys-file-reader.at:3513)
160: write and read long string value labels and missing values FAILED 
(sys-file.at:91)
