Ted,

I'm using "master" branch for my tests, and debian probably using
"debian/master" .
Even test count is differ. In master branch 366 tests and in
"debian/master" 356 tests.

$ git br -vvv
  debian/master 0ba96395 [origin/debian/master] debian/patches: update
for 1.45.5-2 release
* master        32d33132 [origin/master] Merge branch 'maint' into next

Can you please try master branch on any (sparc64 or ppc64) debian
porter boxes? (There's new ppc64 porter box coming soon)
Or on ppc64/sparc64 "gcc compile test" farm machines?

And it's actually up to you, maybe my patch is irrelevant (and sorry
for the noise then), since i don't know internals for e2fsprogs.

Thanks.
