--- Comment #4 from Fabio Valentini <[email protected]> ---
Ran a scratch build now that all dependencies are available in rawhide, and it
failed:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=104697659

As I suspected (I'm getting old), the tests are failing on s390x.
There's two possibilities for the root cause(s):
1. Tests hard-code bytes that are not byte-swapped for big-endian architectures
(i.e. s390x) so the code works correctly, but the tests are broken because they
compare correct results with a broken expected value.
2. Tests are correct, but the underlying code doesn't handle big-endian
architectures correctly.

Case 1 is usually much easier to handle (either by fixing test fixtures or by
ignoring failing tests).
Case 2 can be annoying, since it requires working with upstream to find the
places in the code base where little-endianness is (wrongly) assumed, and
fixing them properly.
