There is one open issues in pixman regarding to this commit changes which effecting the big-endian systems.

I've been told in private email that https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman/-/issues/78 was fixed in the recent pixman 0.43.4 release.

As noted in https://bugs.debian.org/1061616, pixman upstream has stopped
using the odd/even minor version convention (as seen in GLib, dbus,
Flatpak, SDL, etc.) and switched to a versioning scheme where odd and
even minor versions are interchangeable, so 0.43.x is a stable relase
series even though 0.41.x was not.

pixman maintainers: please upgrade to 0.43.4 when it will not disrupt
the ongoing 64-bit time_t transition.

Thanks,
smcv
