I didn't have the time to run the tests on big-endian systems in the past few
weeks. I did back when I submitted v1 but since then a lot of things have 
changed.
At the moment, I am focusing on making the simulator work on x86_64 hosts so 
most
people will not notice regressions. After that, I will move into introducing 
live
tests for big-endian systems and run the test suite in BE and LE to see what's 
left
to be fixed. Live tests pass fine on LE MIPS last time I tried. It's only big
endian that needs more testing after the recent changes, but like I said, I
thought fixing the simulator results was more important than providing live
tests.
