2.4.0: unit test failures on powerpc

ditto on s390x.

------- Comment From <email address hidden> 2016-01-27 19:25 EDT-------
Hello,

The openvswitch package previously existed in Trusty so is the problem reported something new to version 2.4.0?

Hello,

The synced tags are incorrect.

* ppc64le is good (powerpc64le-linux-gnu)

The test suite failures are present on the big endian platforms:

* s390x - IBM z Systems (s390x-linux-gnu)
* powerpc - the older big endian 32 bit port (powerpc-linux-gnu)

Correct these are new for 2.4.0, the older 2.3.2 compiled successfully on powerpc. I haven't tried to compile 2.3.2 on s390x, but can do as a data point.

Hi,

Did you have the opportunity to try the above?

Hello,

The s390x team reports this issue still persists with openvswitch 2.5.0.

Steps to reproduce:

apt-get source openvswitch
apt-get build-dep openvswitch
cd openvswitch-2.5.0/
make check
