I built git with git_2.0.1 on poky / meta master branch: 669c07d60221 I found a related patch on OpenWRT that tracked the bug assertion on big endian machines to the inclusion of XDL_FAST_HASH in config.mak.uname. They state that XDL_FAST_HASH won't work on big endian machines. https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/37239 For my cross compile build, I patched out XDL_FAST_HASH to verify that the bug would go away on my target, which it did. Would anyone care to comment on how to best create a patch for this? A quick search showed that there has been activity on patching XDL_FAST_HASH for big endian machines, so maybe just patching it out of the make file isn't the best course of action for building a big endian target. Thanks, Bob
