Hi All, I am trying to compile elastic-agent for linux/mips64 and I am getting a bit beyond myself.

I cloned the GIT repo and ran the following to try and get it to compile:  
`SNAPSHOT=true DEV=true PLATFORMS=linux/mips64 ~/go/bin/mage package`

The output from the command looks thusly:

```auto
$ SNAPSHOT=true DEV=true PLATFORMS=linux/mips64 ~/go/bin/mage package
package ran for 1.082µs
Error: elastic-agent package is expected to include other packages

```

I tried adding this line to the `magefile.go`:  
`{"linux/mips64", "linux-mips64.tar.gz"},`

However, same error. Any help would be appreciated.

Guessing - did you try to build filebeat and metricbeat before?
