Control: tags -1 +patch Hi! The failure comes from the assumption that char is signed. That's true on x86 and mips, but not on a number of other architectures.
A proper fix would require changing hundreds of places in the code; a quick and dirty patch of compiling with -fsigned-char risks some trouble when using external headers, but it appears to work for me -- at least it builds ok and passes the testsuite. Tested on arm64 and armhf, I assume the patch should also help on armel ppc64el s390x powerpc ppc64; the FTBFS on x32 is unrelated. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Meow! ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Collisions shmolisions, let's see them find a collision or second ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ preimage for double rot13!
