Package: libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl

Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source
The libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl package version 1.05-1 fails
to build from source on the mipsel [1] and arm [2] architectures
because some of the tests fail:
...
To fix this problem, some additional tests need to be added to the macro
code in the fitsio2.h file so that it defines BYTESWAPPED correctly; it
should be defined as TRUE on a little-endian architecture, and FALSE on a
big-endian architecture. In the case of MIPS, the current test in CFITSIO
simply consists of:
#if defined(_MIPS_SZLONG)
#define BYTESWAPPED FALSE
Can someone tell me how this should be changed so that it distinguishs
between the MIPS (big-endian) and MIPSEL (little-endian) environments?
I'm unfamiliar with ARM. Is this always a little-endian environment? What
should the CFISIO macro test for to detect this environment?
