Espeak completely broken

Hi,

on my GL-ARM300 running 22.03.5 espeak seems to be completely broken.
When I try to run it I get this kind of error:

Invalid instruction 5f69 for phoneme ''
Invalid instruction 7574 for phoneme ''
Invalid instruction 5f70 for phoneme ''
...(repeated many times)
Segmentation fault

Is there anything I could try?

Are you using the stock firmware?

ubus call system board 

Yes.

{
        "kernel": "5.10.176",
        "hostname": "an",
        "system": "Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 ver 2 rev 0",
        "model": "GL.iNet GL-AR300M (NAND)",
        "board_name": "glinet,gl-ar300m-nand",
        "rootfs_type": "squashfs",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "22.03.5",
                "revision": "r20134-5f15225c1e",
                "target": "ath79/nand",
                "description": "OpenWrt 22.03.5 r20134-5f15225c1e"
        }
}

Since you are using the vendor firmware, you should ask your question on the gl-inet support channels or their user forums. Their firmware is heavily modified relative to the official Openwrt, so it is materially different and is not supportable here.

Sorry there is a misunderstanding.

When I said "yes" above I meant I am running vanilla openwrt - not the vendor firmware the device came with.

I found some bug-reports that espeak was broken on big-endian systems - my system is big-endian. Could this be the problem?

I would be greatful if anybody with a big-endian system could try espeak...
