Sorry for late reply.
The currently commited fix doesn't work, unforunately. I attach a patch with necessary corrections.

Status in Linux port of Cuneiform: Fix Committed

Bug description:
In Kern/rstr/src/perc.c, there is some i386 assembly code used to swap byte order. This is ugly and unportable.
In Debian this issue was fixed by applying the attached patch; however it is not very portable either, as it requires a relatively recent version of GNU libc.
Perhaps the most portable way to fix it is to use the htonl() function: http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xns/htonl.html
