Hello,
the same error is noticed for other big endian architectures like
mips and powerpc.
This patch from upstream fixes this issue for me on mips.
https://github.com/stedolan/jq/commit/20e629284f94e0c8a14e8425309c913b6ee5b280
The patch is attached.
Could you please consider including this patch.
Best Regards,
Dejan
