My apologies to all builders, but xetex in the TL source tree has just
been updated to 0.999.3 (r.9515, changes to web2c/texmfmem.h and web2c/
xetexdir/xetex.ch).
The reason for this is that dumped format files contained TFM font
information in an endian-specific form, so .fmt files could not always
be shared across different architectures. If possible, it would be
good to rebuild and install the new xetex binary for all platforms (no
other binaries are affected).
If it's not possible for some people to rebuild, the previous version
is functionally identical except for the potential non-portability of
formats, so it isn't a critical issue.
