Weird, will try to modify makefile and see if that helps.

Could you please explain in more details how does buff_to_be break
endian annotation?

I ran it and even fixed some of the errors. These errors i might just
missed because of the output is flooded with messages like:

unreachable code.

Thanx for pointing to these warnings.
