> not a bug, .mo files aren't arch specific.
I'm fine with you refusing to fix this, but thought it best to get the
facts right.
The .mo files are architecture specific. They are either little or
big endian, depending on the architecture they were generated on. As
far as I know, the gettext library is able to read files using both
endian types, but read the non-native endian type files slower than
those with native endianess. So this bug is about speed, not the
ability to read the files.
Notice the 'little endian' output from file:
% file /usr/share/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/stellarium.mo
/usr/share/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/stellarium.mo: GNU message catalog
(little endian), revision 0, 488 messages
%
See

for details.
Happy hacking,
