[Buildroot] [autobuild.buildroot.net] Build results for 2016-03-01

[Jeroen Roovers]

I am curious about nginx in particular since I found a bug in its
magnificent configuration system today (which I didn't exactly fix but
worked around).

Using GCC 4.9.3 I found last year that nginx compiled fine but dropped
the response header returned by its proxies. I didn't know back then
that nginx was to blame, but that's beside the matter.
The gist is that it returned the remainder of the headers to the HTTP client.

I checked the log and indeed it correctly says:

checking for system byte ordering ... big endian

Note that this is a compile test on the host, which is a punishable
offense in forward-thinking nations.

I see the same message compiling on an amd64 host for an ARM target.

I worked around it by neatly forcing -DNGX_HAVE_LITTLE_ENDIAN.

This is probably something that nginx developers should fix (perhaps
by using a standardised configuration system?) but why I turn to the
list is to ask if the autobuild logs return "big endian" for all
platforms, and to suggest that perhaps this should be flagged somehow.

Kind regards,
