So this was broken in 64-bit big-endian too before your fix?

Unfortunately, no, the raw API is undocumented.  My understanding is that it's
an API that bypasses all the promotions/demotions stuff, at least for targets
that implement it natively (i.e. FFI_NATIVE_RAW_API defined, only x86 AFAICS). 
For other targets, java_raw_api.c contains the necessary glue code.  In
particular, you don't need to promote 32-bit return values to 64-bit ffi_arg
with it because both ffi_java_rvalue_to_raw and ffi_java_raw_to_rvalue do the
adjustments, at least in the 64-bit big-endian case.  There might be something
missing (an extension) for 64-bit little-endian for non-x86 targets.
