It's supposed to work -- the zcompile doc says:

              The created file always contains  two  versions  of
              the  compiled  format,  one for big-endian machines
              and one for small-endian machines.  The  upshot  of
              this  is that the compiled file is machine indepen-
              dent and if it is read or mapped, only one half  of
              the file is actually used (and mapped).

If possible, please send a stack trace from your core dump to zsh-workers.
Thanks.
