Can reproduce. Looking into it upstream:
https://github.com/hfst/hfst/issues/328

While it did successfully build in the past, that was only because the test
suite was disabled until recently. The tests revealed the unsigned char
issue which was easy to fix, and now the endian issue which will not be as
easy.
