Carl,

thanks for testing!  I think you did it just right. make -s   is what I
usually do when I'm looking for warnings or errors. But you probably did
that anyways.. One thing: these inconsistencies would be reported as
warning not as error.
I was wondering whether we should also test on ppc64be?  You have a
better feeling as to whether that wold be worth it. I have bo sense for
how much code is in common between big endian and little endian. So I'll
leave it to you to decide.

Thanks again
