The commit here mixes that boundary though. The legacy container is
currently used to provide cross compilers for the check-tcg tests
with is outside scope of our support matrix. This commit, however,
is removing the testing of mips host build on Debian 12, while
adding mips gcc to this old Debian 11 container.
