[Buildroot] broken socat

[Mike Williams]

Has anyone else noticed a broken socat on PPC or other big-endian
systems? The termios options specified manually in the .mk file appear
to be wrong, as socat asserts when run because they aren't equal to
the platform's definition. It appears these options are determined
during configuration by compiling small programs and testing them, as
they must be manually set when cross compiling. I know nothing about
termios, but is it possible that we could just define them based on
architecture in the .mk file and be done with it?

Additionally, it appears that 2.0.0-b4 has a problem with a UDP-RECV
source, that 1.7.1.3 does not. Perhaps it would be wise to revert to
the stable version until the next release is out of beta, along with
whatever changes fixing the termios problem requires?

Thanks,
Mike

Have you reported these issues to socat maintainer?
