I am working on my first port, and version 0.6.3 broke big endian support. The software’s latest version is still broken on big endian. The reason for this is stated in the change log as removing endian specific code. The software compiles fine but does not function correctly, giving errors.
Version 0.6.2 works on big endian, which is what I’ll be using this software on a lot. NetBSD has a port of the newest version of this software. It looks like it wasn’t properly tested because they use no patches in their port yet produce PowerPC binaries. This is unconfirmed however because I don’t use NetBSD.
