[Python-modules-team] Bug#861250: pygame: FTBFS (big-endian): test_get_bounding_rect fails

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: pygame
Version: 1.9.1release+dfsg-10+b2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Builds of pygame for big-endian architectures (mips, s390x, and the
non-release architectures hppa, powerpc, ppc64, and sparc64) all failed:

  FAIL: test_get_bounding_rect (pygame.tests.surface_test.SurfaceTypeTest)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/«BUILDDIR»/pygame-1.9.3+dfsg/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build/pygame/tests/surface_test.py", line 154, in test_get_bounding_rect
      self.assertEqual(bound_rect.width, 0)
  AssertionError: 1 != 0

On most of these architectures (all but mips and hppa), there were
additional test suite failures, which I'm reporting separately.  I
presume the non-release architectures m68k and powerpcspe would have
encountered the same error if those builds hadn't silently skipped the
test suite altogether for some reason.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
