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.
I checked Bugzilla for xz bugs and this isn't listed. Should someone
file it?
