Bug#391454: libyate1.0.0: MD5 broken on Big Endian architectures.

[Sebastien Bernard]

Package: libyate1.0.0
Version: 1.0.0-1.dfsg-2
Severity: important


Build of the YMD5.cpp is dependand of the WORDS_BIGENDIAN symbol for
building a big or little endian version.
This symbol is not defined by gcc whereas BIGENDIAN is.

This generate a MD5 version byteswaped, thus making any authentication
fails wether it is from a client or to another server.

The patch below - courtesy made by Harry Roberts - fixes this problem on sparc
but it may fix the problem for all others bigendian platforms.
