[Mesa-dev] swrast gallium provider doesn't work on Solaris SPARC (Mesa 20 with LLVM 10)

[Roland Scheidegger]

Oh I missed that sparc is big endian.
Still not sure where the llvm IR would differ but indeed some different
unpacking somewhere could explain things.
(And I'd guess we'd get issues reported for other big endian archs soon
enough too...)
