In CodeBlock.cpp the code preparing the operands of op_get_from_scope writes the property offset as pointer size (hence 64 bit) value:

2141: instructions[i + 6].u.pointer =
reinterpret_cast<void*>(op.operand);

while the same slot is accessed later by the jitted code as 32 bit
integer:

macro getProperty(slow)
    loadisFromInstruction(6, t1)

This fails on big endian targets since the integer access takes the
higher part of the 64 bit value.

Changing:

macro getProperty(slow)
    loadisFromInstruction(6, t1)

to

macro getProperty(slow)
    loadpFromInstruction(6, t1)

in llint/LowLevelInterpreter64.asm fixes the problem for me.

I could not reproduce the problem on Ubuntu 20.10. In upstream webkit the problem got fixed as a side effect of a larger change but in the end quite similar to the change I'm proposing. The value resides somewhere else now but it is accessed as 64 bit value in getProperty:

macro getProperty()
        loadp OpGetFromScope::Metadata::m_operand[t5], t1

If you have the jsc binary from the webkit package available the problem
can be reproduced with just 'jsc -e "i=Math.min"'
