I wondered if there should be some startup-time sanity check of that,  
just to be safe.

The current GCC sources indicate that it'll define __BIG_ENDIAN__ on  
big-endian IA64 targets.  It may be good to add __BIG_ENDIAN__ and  
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ to the list of macros we test for; certainly several  
GCC configurations seem to define one or the other for several  
processors that can go either way.

I'll take a look....
