I may be a endian compatibility problem with the data.  Unfortunately I
am not able to test on a big-endian processor here.

The little-endian data in espeak-data in the eSpeak download
(specifically espeak-data/phondata,phonindex,phontab) is wrong for a
big-endian processor.  Either you must re-compile the data using
espeakedit (which I think you have done) or use a program
'platforms/big_endian/espeak-phoneme-data' in the eSpeak-source
download to convert it.

What's the immediate cause of the segfault?  What's the value of
variable  'env2' before the segfault (you could use a printf() to get
its value).

How did you run eSpeak?  Did you use a command such as:

espeak -v en "Hello world"
?
Which voice (eg. 'en') did you use?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what this means.

Does eSpeak pick up your data from $HOME/espeak-data which has been
compiled or converted for big-endian?
