654056 - Build IPC support for mips, hppa, ia64, s390(x), powerpc64 and sparc

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: IPC, defect)

Description

Attachment: Allow IPC to build on these architectures

The patch I'm attaching makes things build.

ia64 has a broken jsengine because of the new jsval, I haven't tested hppa, and I know for a fact that it doesn't actually work on mips and s390, so it's a WIP.

Note that on s390, size_t is defined as unsigned long, which explains the ipc_message_utils.h change.

Attachment: fix little-endian assumption in data_pack.cc

This patch makes the work with the resource files endian-independent. It builds fine on x86_64 and s390x, but I don't know how to test it or whether it's even required besides the fact that build fails on big endian arch.

That file is not built anymore, as it was not used at all. See bug 643112.

Let's already get this in the tree and file separate bugs for runtime issues
