Test failures on powerpc and possibly on other big endian architectures

[gerddie]

Hello, the test minc2-dimension-test fails with

 Error reported on line #297, wrong result: 0

on powerpc. This is probably a big/low endian conversion problem.

Is it a MacOSX running on old PowerPC ?

[gerddie]

No it's Debian GNU/Linux running on an old Powerbook

On Sparc it also failed:

so, I don't have any big endian computers lying around, how can I run a debug on one of these?

Looks like qemu can emulate a big endian system
