The first can be solved by possibly adding test_env in the configuration scripts (SCons/config) and setting -D__BIG_ENDIAN__ to it, just like makensis_env.

The second is simply makensis not being endianity friendly.

Committed a fix for the former problem, will try and get access to a big endian debian machine for the latter. I notice that there is a patch for partial big-endian support, any reason that isn't applied yet?

Yep, this patch will not fix it all. I just takes a lot of work to get it working.

I could do it on my Apple, but sadly there are so may other higher priority Opensource tasks I want to solve first.

So feel free to pick it up but be prepared for a heavy adventure...

What do you have installed on your apple? Perhaps I could get user level access to it if you install mingw/scons?

Yes, I do have mingw, scons, pyton installed, and many other developemnt tools, but the machine is in and off regular basis.

Better buy a secondhand sparcstation will not cost more then $50, e.g. 270 Mhz UltraSparc IIi even with 20" screen.

( Which I gladly pay for you if you will invest time getting endian problems solved and native NSIS build on Solaris, Linux, BSD based OS possible. )

Hmm, shipping to Perth might cost more than the box itself.

Anyways, I would be more than happy to receive a sparc box in exchange for porting NSIS to big endian machines. I can only do it where mingw is available though - I don't want to have to go futzing around with trying to make a cross-compiler - Linux and FreeBSD have that, dunno about Solaris.

As an aside, I don't really care for Sun's attitude toward FOSS, and I'm not too enthusiastic about OpenSolaris hype and licencing, so I might just give Solaris a miss. Zealotry here I come!! :)

That patch only fixes one problem in Plugins.cpp. There are many many more. The ones that don't cause a crash will create invalid installers. All of the installer structures are written as is from memory to file.
