The endianness code is in waf

I'm guesing that makepkg includes an -O<something>

So it's either a compiler bug, or some crufty code in waf that is doing 
one of those undefined things that works if you don't do too much 
optomization.

1.2.4 includes a new version of waf.  But the code is hidden inside a self 
unpacking shell script so it will take a layer or two of digging to find 
the current code and then the old code so we can see what changed.

I don't know my way around that area.  Hopefully, somebody else will see 
something.

At a quick glance, it looks like waf does all the work.


Does 1.2.3 work as expected in your working environment?
