I found the culprit. On the GVariant.xs file, we have:
const char * g_variant_classify (GVariant *value);
PREINIT:
GVariantClass vclass;
CODE:
vclass = g_variant_classify (value);
RETVAL = (const char *) &vclass;
OUTPUT:
RETVAL
The RETVAL value will be arch-dependent because of the way it's accessed. I'm
not familiar with .xs syntax, so what's the way to deal with endianness on this
type of files?
