Building process needs certain architecture's machine

[Kov Chai <tchaikov@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am packaging sunpinyin. The install script of this software will
identify the endian-ness of the building machine and generate a binary
data file from its architecture independent format.  And the
executable only works with the data file of appropriate endian-ness.

So, to minimize the usage of debian mirror space and bandwidth, I
think the best way to package it is to create two more data packages,
one for big-endian, the other for small-endian. The problem is that
the upstream does not provide any way to generate the data file of
specified endian-ness. I also examined the source file only to find
out there is no straightforward way to do it other than to swap the
bits at all the places where the endian-ness kicks in.

Is there any way to work it out?

Thanks in advance.
