JFYI

checkout of commit db41ae2c3e4716ceffe212a742d3c963e400fa1e makes
dumpe2fs to work correctly (i.e. not to segfault).
Tried to bisect (not sure it was fully correct, since i don't used
make clean between bisect steps),
marking head as bad and db41ae2c as good, leads to this commit :

e2fsprogs.git$ git bisect good
e6069a05daeb8d18289ad7772d7800b09b418bca is the first bad commit

    Teach ext2fs_open2() to honor the EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY flag

    Opening the file system with EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY will leave
    fs->group_desc to be NULL and modify "dumpe2fs -h" and tune2fs when it
    is emulating e2label to use this flag.  This speeds up "dumpe2fs -h"
    and "e2label" when operating on very large file systems.

    To allow other libext2fs functions to work without too many surprises,
    ext2fs_group_desc() will read in the block group descriptors on
    demand.  This allows "dumpe2fs -h" to be able to read the journal
    inode, for example.

So, if you need BE machine to test on, please use 'gcc compile farm'
BE machines (gcc202 debian sparc64, gcc110 centos-7 ppc64 - and git
master segfaults on gcc110 as well)
