Bug#1092713: mame ftbfs on hppa

[Helge Deller]

Package: mame
Version: 0.273+dfsg.1-1
Tags: ftbfs
Usertags: hppa

mame randomly fails to build from source on hppa.
Build success seems to be related to build server speed, since
it fails to link because some archive files (e.g. scripts/mame_mame/liboptional.a)
is of zero length...

In any case, hppa is BIG-ENDIAN, so can you please modify
debian/rules like this before the next upload: ?

ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),hppa)
LINK_WITH_GOLD =
DEB_OPTS += \
     BIGENDIAN=1 \	<- add this line!
     NOASM=1
endif

Maybe generally it would be useful to detect the endianess automatically, e.g. via:
dpkg-architecture -qDEB_TARGET_ARCH_ENDIAN
which reports back "big" or "little".

In the meantime I will try to reproduce problem on another build server,
but since build takes up to a day, it may take time.
