Sounds like the problem I was getting, which this patch fixes:
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/patch/?id=24c43ea6a210cd1b98e911d989de400ef343e7bb

NetSurf won't build with 1.70 (yet), and me and Ole can't get 1.80 to
work on big-endian hosts, but if that is an endian problem it's not
going to be relevant for RISC OS/ARM. Beyond 1.80 you're into C++ and
NSPR territory, whch adds porting complexity and increasingly bloaty
executables.
