Bug#968956: kbd: fails to build on big endian (s390x)

Package: kbd
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: FTBFS on release arch
Forwarded: https://github.com/legionus/kbd/issues/40


Hello,

The new kbd release recently uploaded to unstable (2.2.0)
which includes fixes to build with gcc-10 has a regression
on big-endian architectures successfully caught by the
test-suite.

More information is already available in the upstream
issue tracker where someone has done the initial investigations.
(See forwarded url above.)

Would be great if someone from the debian s390 porters team
would follow up with which path to go down and propose
a patch that implements the solution. Alternatively we
could disable the test-suite on s390 in debian if you
think this issue is not important enough to hold up the
other fixes from entering testing/bullseye.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
