Bug#973005: inventor: please enable builds on sparc64 and riscv64

Severity: wishlist

Hi Maintainer

Please enable builds on sparc64 and riscv64.  From information in the
Architecture Specifics Memo [1], I believe this can be done simply by
adding

|| __arch64__ || __riscv_xlen==64

to line 56 of debian/patches/endianness.patch [2]

I've already tested this on the sparc64 porterbox and got a successful
build.  I haven't been able to test riscv64, but I don't see any harm
in uploading to the archive and seeing what happens.

Regards
Graham
