There is no "probably": reading/writing BCF files did not work correctly
before, still does not work with the patch that you have applied, and this was
not tested by the test suite until February 17th.
The 1.10.2 test suite currently passes with the patch that you have applied
because the test suite is known to be incomplete. If there are any users on
s390x, they would be well served by updating debian/patches/big-endian to
reflect PR #1023's final code patches as they were merged upstream, rather than
the buggy incomplete version you currently have.
