Thanks for that. I'll bear it in mind. I've actually managed to fix the problem with 5.8 on big-endian machines and it now builds and runs the test suite correctly on the big-endian Mips.

Jerry: Can you test again with the S390x and confirm if it works now? This is in master. I'll add the fixes to fixes-5.8 if it works.

David

So the s390x is big-endian?

Yes.

I don't have access to any big-endian hardware but I managed to find
an image for a big-endian Mips machine under Qemu and confirm that
there was a problem.

The GCC compile farm has big endian machines, and so does Debian:

   <https://dsa.debian.org/doc/guest-account/>

IBM also offers s390x community machines, but reportedly, setting up
access is rather difficult, and I can't find the web page detailing
the process right now.
