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.

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:

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. _______________________________________________ polyml mailing list polyml at inf.ed.ac.uk http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/polyml
