There is a new v1.4.4 release which should fix the big-endian issues.
Sucessfully tested with m68k-linux-gnu-gcc, see file 'FAQ'. Not tested
with ICC proflib.

See https://git.fsfe.org/art1pirat/checkit_tiff/releases for a short
summary of the release.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you detect further bugs.

With best regards

Andreas
