As I expected.

According to your log, we now have failure only on s390, s390x, and sparc.
I guess that means there are big-endian machines on which the RTCM2 driver
is working as expected?  (It would be helpful if I had a complete list of the
architectures on which regression tests are passing.)

If so, that is good news.  It means the big-endian version of the weird
structure-overlay hack I used is working.  In turn, that means that 
the only failures are machines for which the compilers ignore #pragma pack(1).

I know in a general way how to fix this, but the details will be ugly
and difficult.
