It won't help those who cross-compile anyway. I thought we declared
"we make a reasonable effort to guess the target endianness from the
system header by inspecting usual macros, but will not aim to cover
every system on the planet---instead there is a knob to tweak it for
those on exotic platforms" last time we discussed this?
