Fails to build on s390x

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
in Debian we have a lot of weird architectures :) one of those is s390x, one of 
the few 64bit big-endian arch, and building regex on it it fails.

Here's the link to the build log: 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=python-regex&arch=s390x&ver=0.1.2
0120506-2&stamp=1339276454

Cheers,
Sandro

My browser is complaining about the security certificate for that site.

that's weird, from my browser (chromium) it's recognized perfectly, as signed 
by Software in the Public Interest (SPI, a non profit organization).

If it works on other 64-bit platforms but not on s390x, then I don't know where 
the problem lies.

On Python 2.x:

>>> regex.compile("(?i)(a)(b)").flags
8322
>>> regex.compile(u"(?i)(a)(b)").flags
8226

On Python 3.x:

>>> regex.compile(b"(?i)(a)(b)").flags
8322
>>> regex.compile("(?i)(a)(b)").flags
8226

It occurred to me that the most likely cause was an endian problem somewhere, 
hence the previous post. I eventually tracked down one place I'd overlooked, so 
it should be fixed now.

Fixed in regex 0.1.20120611.

(that's why I mentioned it's a "special" arch ;)). i've just checked on s390x 
and I can confirm this is fixed. Thanks a lot for the quick reply & fix!
