[pdftex] pdflatex failures on big-endian architectures (s390x / ppc64)

[The Thanh Han]

Hi Hilmar,

I tested as following:


# create test file:
cat <<EOT > f.tex
\input plain.tex
\input pdftexconfig.tex
\input pdftexmagfix.tex

\pdfcompresslevel=0
\pdfobjcompresslevel=0
\pdfgentounicode=1
\input glyphtounicode
abc
\end
EOT

# symlink patched pdftex as pdftex2:
ln -s /var/tmp/pdftex_hille42_20231027 ./pdftex2

# set TEXMFCNF so that pdftex2 can find relevant files:
export
TEXMFCNF=/etc/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c

# run pdftex2:
./pdftex2 -ini f.tex

# check output:
view f.pdf
.

is it possible that you are still invoking the stock pdftex instead of the
patched one?
