Yes, both hppa and powerpc are 32-bit big-endian.

I think we should just ignore this test for now. There are currently 5 tests
in total failing on powerpc and we should ignore all of those:


Summary of Failures:

 26/755 gtk:gdk / dmabufformats                                                      ERROR            0.25s   killed by signal 5 SIGTRAP

Ok:                722 
Fail:              5   
Skipped:           28  

I have been trying to figure out how to skip those, but I have not been able
to figure out the mechanism behind that and no matter what I try, the tests
are still run.

Anyone got any idea?
