Dear Debian libskia package maintainer,
The most recent build of libskia in Debian fails on big-endian architectures.
For example as shown in
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libskia&arch=s390x&ver=146.20260311%2Bdfsg-1&stamp=1774775532&raw=0
:

from src/xps/SkXPSDocument.cpp:8:
./include/private/base/SkLoadUserConfig.h:58:6: error: #error "The Skia team is
not endian-savvy enough to support big-endian CPUs."

make[1]: *** [Makefile:144: debbuild/xps/SkXPSDocument.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
As a result, I belive the best solution is to disable big-endian builds
for libskia. The following patch shall be the most elegant solution:
