== Progress == * Validation of my vext patch in big-endian mode proved that proper support would be non-trivial. Spent a lot of time writing a self-testing executable test, which works in both big and little endian modes. Posted an updated patch which makes no optimization in big-endian. After discussion with Ramana, I will post a 2nd patch which improves the testing in big-endian mode.
* In the process, wrote a patch to fix 3 other testcases which used to fail in big-endian mode.
* Received no answer from the original contributor of bswap16 support patch.
== Next == * Have my vext patch accepted on trunk. * Continue with bswap16 support.
