According to Peter O'Gorman on 8/13/2008 12:13 PM:
| Hi,
|
| "checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... universal" is not the
| correct answer on powerpc-ibm-aix. The question is not really correct
| either (yes/no question, answer is neither yes nor no), but that is
| beside the point.
|
| As far as I know, it is only possible to built differently endian output
| on Mac OS X with Apple's gcc. Would a patch to limit the check for
| universal to when __APPLE_CC__ is defined be accepted?

The brokenness of AC_C_BIGENDIAN has been known for some time now, still
without a patch.  At this point, any approach is better than none, so it
might be worth posting your ideas.
