Since 2.13.0 just running "git status" on a newly init'd repo on
Solaris SPARC[1] segfaults. Michael (CC'd) reported this issue on #git
and I helped him debug it.
Just compiling with BLK_SHA1=YesPlease solves the issue.
There are at least two different issues with DC_SHA1 here:
* We don't properly detect that this platform is big endian. The
check at the top of sha1dc/sha1.c needs to test for _BIG_ENDIAN. This
comes from sys/isa_defs.h which (I'm told by #solaris) is included on
Solaris by default, at least by stdio.h.
Hacking the endian detection makes t0013-sha1dc.sh pass.
* Even with that & the test passing just a plain "git init x && cd x
&& touch A && git add A && git commit" will segfault.
This is some bug in the sha1dc code, presumably some big endian issue
that's not resolved by the change above. Backtrace for that (censored
actual author info):
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
