Hum, I do agree that endianess is not trivial. It may even require
extensive changes in the programs to convert back-and-forth. Maybe this is
a genuine case for GCC runs, at least temporary. It should be possible to
disable the reference output IFF (Arch == PPC && ENDIAN == BIG).

But first, let's look at the outputs, and let's fix as much as we can
without it. I fixed many bugs on other platforms while working to get the
ARM bots green, so the work on the PPC bot will probably do the same as
well.

cheers,
