Ooof, that brings back all the flipping colourmap joy I remember from cg6 based machines :)

Sadly, I see some Conversion from UTF-8 to UTF32BE is not supported (from freetype?) so no text at all :) :(

Does utf-32be work?

This is not my locale setting, i tried to set it just to C (LOCALE, LANG, LC_ALL ) but something still tries to convert to utf32BE specifically ...

I think we 9Cinelerra-GG) work ok between LE and BE hosts, but qemu-system-sparc's TCX24 show swapped red-blue colors for some reason, on xine (launched from i586 host), mplayer (local and LE host), and few elements in qt5-based programs like Openshot-qt or Avidemux (those obviously launched from i586 host targeting qemu VMs) PPC qemu runs NetBSD 10.0 and generic framebuffer (and ne2k_pci, because GEM networking hw hang on configuation in this qemu/NetBSD kernel combo) I had a lot of fun, and some confusion about where bugs might be. But I am happy Cinelerra-gg at least does not crash on "strict" platforms like Sparc32. This gives me hope!
