The failing test is # Failed test 'readline_state' # at t/readline.t line 152. where the observed value is 0 instead of the expected 2. The problem here is that with readline-7.0, rl_readline_state has changed from int to unsigned long. The int_tbl[] initialization in Gnu.xs coerces this to an int in a way that works on little-endian 64-bit platforms but not big-endian ones. I'm not sure how to best fix this. The attached crude hack makes it work, but I hesitate call it a patch. I've forwarded it upstream FWIW. -- Niko Tyni [email protected]
