Yeah, looks like we have to define SKEIN_NEED_SWAP for all arches. From skein_port.h: ,---- | Skein is "natively" little-endian (unlike SHA-xxx), for optimal | performance on x86 CPUs. The Skein code requires the following | definitions for dealing with endianness: | | SKEIN_NEED_SWAP: 0 for little-endian, 1 for big-endian `---- It then goes on to claim auto detection of endianness, but that looks to be disabled. So, following the pattern we would have to enumerate all Debian architectures for endianness. That looks troublesome. Is there a better way?
