+Subject: [PATCH] BUG: fix integer size confusion in handling array's ndmin
+ argument
+
+The ndmin local variable was changed from an "int" to an "npy_intp" but
+&ndmin is passed to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords against a "i" argument
+spec, but these integers have different sizes (well on an LP64 platform
+anyway). This actually works on a little endian system but fails
+on a big endian one. Fix this by converting the local back to an int,
+and being a little careful before assigning the result of PyLong_AsLong to
+it.
+
+Fixes #14767
