*** longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame ***: src/test_litecoin terminated

...

The longjmp errors cause the build log file to explode on hppa.  They
are similar to that seen with libcurl.

Similar assertion fails are seen on sh4, powerpcspe, ppc64 and sparc64.

The problem is that upstream(s) do not support big-endian architectures.
There is some hope that next version might improve this situation or I will
have to blacklist those architectures...

Good luck happens when preparedness meets opportunity.
