Bug#942674: git: FTBFS on big-endian targets - testsuite failure

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Source: git
Version: 1:2.24.0~rc0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source
User: debian-s390@lists.debian.org
Usertags: s390x

Hi!

git currently fails to build from source on all big-endian targets due
to test suite failures. This includes powerpc, ppc64, sparc64 and s390x
which is why this bug has severity serious [1].

There have been testsuite failures on big-endian in the past before,
see [2]. I will also notify upstream.

Thanks,
Adrian
