Yeah, I know it's an endianness issue. But I also know emulating s390
is not a thing, and there is someone building a Power-based
raspberry-pi-like board but that has not launched and they ask lots of
money for it. So far it seems emulating MIPS on my Intel-based laptop
is the easiest way. I hope some of your packaging colleagues have some
tips!
