Would be simpler to split out into separate files? This threw me.

"/export/build/johnlev/xvm/xvm-vi/libvirt.hg/src/storage_backend_fs.c", line 34: error: cannot find include file: <endian.h>
"/export/build/johnlev/xvm/xvm-vi/libvirt.hg/src/storage_backend_fs.c", line 35: error: cannot find include file: <byteswap.h>
"/export/build/johnlev/xvm/xvm-vi/libvirt.hg/src/storage_backend_fs.c", line 36: error: cannot find include file: <mntent.h>
"/export/build/johnlev/xvm/xvm-vi/libvirt.hg/src/storage_backend_fs.c", line 81: error: undefined symbol: __BIG_ENDIAN

So line 36 needs moving within the #ifdef, and we need a general replacement
for the endian stuff. I'm not sure what you're using from byteswap.h, but we can
just define __*_ENDIAN if they're not, I think?
