I don't see why this is necessary. Upload a fixed libmurmurhash and then we don't have to regress. The only reason libmurmurhash is currently not built on those architectures is because the test suite runs the non-portable reference implementation, which fails to byte-swap on big-endian machines and therefore gives a (consistent) different output. This has been fixed upstream in [1]. Just upload a -3 with this patch. Unless there's something else I'm missing, I'm disappointed that this is the action you take rather than spend the 5-10 minutes required to fix the problem.
