I'm working on an NMU for vnc4, so I tried out the proposed patch to see if it was sufficient to get vnc4server built and running on ppc64el. I did confirm that the build succeeds but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to function. Clients can authenticate, but then are immediately disconnected w/ an endianness-related error. See below.
As part of this investigation, I reworked the proposed patch to (imo) fit the existing codebase better, attached.
