Odd.

We do test on clang.  I test on osX which uses clang.  But I see I do not
have Qt enabled.  Not sure how to do that on a mac.

The only Qt thing gpsd builds is a simple test case.  No known clients.

We used to do something similar, it broke other things.

Please do some tests, time is running out before the next release.

Don't keep us in suspense.

Could be.  AFAIK, only some Power CPUs have big-endian modes.  They
should die...

If you could do this, and send the results that would help a lot:

  # ./regress-driver test/daemon/garmin18x-bin.log

The driver did not change, but the regression test is new.  So likely a
very old bug.
