+===================
+
+Regarding the architectures: back in January 2014 [1] we removed the
+big-endian architectures from the list, because the file format used by
+ProbABEL is read using raw I/O, so files created on little endian
+machines can't be read by big endian ones. The build failure stems from
+the fact that the included example/test files were created on a little
+endian machine.
