Many thanks for testing!

Those are expected on 64-bit reading 32-bit pbcs. Sorry, will mark as TODO
or better find the fix in the next month.

This must have happened when kj added those two files on windows.
I detected a Solaris/SPARC error by looking at the source (forgot two
other converters)
and added a quickfix for you.
Unfortunately I cannot test it there.

Oops, my error. I mixed up BE with LE.
It seems to be that you are the only one who is using 64bit big-endian.
I wish I could add a virtualization which crosses ptrsize and endianness.
(darwin/PPC and Sparc). Maybe inside one of my vmware images.
Is there nothing for Solaris/x86 to virtualize a Solaris/Sparc?

Please use this patch, applied as r36854.

ld: fatal: option -dn and -P are incompatible
Sorry, I forgot to check this.

But does replacing -Wl,-rpath= with a plain -R really fix the -dn <=>
-P conflict?
