After reading the discussion, I was left with a question. When the GNU gettext infrastructure is used, upstream tarballs include *.gmo files, which could have been generated in a different byte-order. Does the recent Debian build system forcibly regenerate them on package building? > I wonder if it would be possible to have some sort of option which I > can pass to ./configure to achieve this behaviour so that modifying > msgfmt.c directly was not needed. Yes, it could. But I doubt if it really helps multiarch packaging. Perhaps it might be easier to run a small script that converts byte-order of *.mo files after the "make install" phase.
