If I understand correctly what the problem is - that successfully
xz-uncompressing a file requires being on the same endian arch as the
one it was compressed on - that's just wrong. It shouldn't be
platform-dependent at all.
That is not the issue. There are two issues:
- Compressing a file on different arches, while it produces output
that any arch can decompress, does produce *different* output.
- Compression of xz is not fast.
