I have a BE Sun Solaris machine I believe I can test on. Where can I get
the code?

The stuff you found was copypasta sloppiness. I'm usually not in the
habit of using integer as pointers and vice versa, so if gcc shuts up on
-Wall it's good enough for me(tm).

No. The only BE machine in my reach is a friend's rusty PARISC box which
we keep around for nostalgic reasons.

I'm not worried about architecture, but more about platform (OS) in
general. Maybe it would be a good idea to release an RC tarball first?
