I received a patch for this, uncredited but apparently originating somewhere in opensuse:

Yes. We have a fix for that in openSUSE https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=tiff-bigendian.patch&package=tiff&project=openSUSE%3AFactory&rev=5d26c6b139d9968312f675be2200e70b

It would be great if patch would be accepted upstream.

Um... not to belabor the obvious, but upstream is unlikely to accept any patches they don't know about. If this was your patch, or something you knew of, why didn't you submit it here yourself?

(A quick look around opensuse's repo shows that they seem to be carrying a number of fixes that should have been submitted upstream.)
