Hi.
I believe, this problem is due to wrong endian-ness. The CLX-code
fails to correctly identify that your intel-chip is little-endian and
uses big-endian instead which causes protocol errors.
Look for the correct symbol and push it into *features* before
compiling the code. Or even better: fix the broken code that tries to
identify the endian-ness (I failed to understand it) and post it here.
