[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53853] configure: OCTAVE_BLAS_F77_FUNC sets ax_blas_integer_size incorrectly on big endian system

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #53853 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

After looking at the test program, it's pretty clear that it's expecting a 8
byte integer on the stack to be interpreted by only looking at the
least-significant 4 bytes. On a big endian system, the argument is interpreted
as -1 (from the most-significant 4 bytes) instead of +1. That's why the test
then wrongly thinks that the integer size is 8 bytes. Needs some rethinking to
fix this properly.
