Package: binutils-mingw-w64-i686
Version: 2.24.51.20140617-1+3
Severity: normal
i686-w64-mingw32-windres running on s390x behaves differently when it
comes to strings.
s390x:
$ echo 'STRINGTABLE { 1, "String" }' | i686-w64-mingw32-windres
/* Type: stringtable
Name: 1. */
LANGUAGE 9, 1
STRINGTABLE MOVEABLE PURE DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
1, L"\x5300\x7400\x7200\x6900\x6e00\x6700"
END
amd64:
$ echo 'STRINGTABLE { 1, "String" }' | i686-w64-mingw32-windres
/* COFF information not part of RC
Time stamp: 1405365542
Type: stringtable
COFF information not part of RC
Time stamp: 1405365542
Name: 1
COFF information not part of RC
Time stamp: 1405365542. */
LANGUAGE 9, 1
STRINGTABLE MOVEABLE PURE DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
1, "String"
END
I would have expected the same output on the s390x and amd64 system.
It seems the endianness might be the cause of the different behavior.
The s390x architecture uses big endian.
I rebuild the binutils-mingw-w64-i686 debian package to make sure the issue
still occurs in the latest version.
