And it so happens that the fixed order of cairo coincides with the hardware order on PC but not on Mac. Hence, painting by cairo directly into Inkscape/GDK buffers worked on PC but on Mac, all colors are wrong and (in case of outline) black color gets zero opacity, i.e. becomes invisible.
Is this a problem in the hardware in terms of the physical pieces in the computer or in the way the hardware is handled by the system, deeply inside? I don't know if this is relevant but then, is there a difference between PowerPC and Intel based Macs (I am on a PPC)?
Hardware. PPC is big-endian, i386 is little-endian. So yes, the Intel based Macs are little-endian, just like normal PCs and the new cairo outline code works fine.
