Bug#599961: libbio-scf-perl: FTBFS: Neither BIG nor LITTLE endian defined

[Cyril Brulebois]

Source: libbio-scf-perl
Version: 1.03-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS

Hi,

you may want to downgrade the severity, but the problem sounds like a
trivial portability issue, and it seems to me like something we want to
fix for a stable release. Not technically serious, though. Your call.

Your package FTBFS on hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel, and s390 with:
| cc -c   -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -g   -DVERSION=\"1.03\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.03\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl/5.10/CORE"  -DLITTLE_ENDIAN SCF.c
| In file included from /usr/include/io_lib/scf.h:32,
|                  from SCF.xs:12:
| /usr/include/io_lib/os.h:269:6: error: #error Neither BIG nor LITTLE endian defined. Fix os.h and/or Makefile
| make[1]: *** [SCF.o] Error 1
