That would be a separate patch, this patch is only concerned with
eliminating the implicit assumption of the host being big-endian. And
there's already been some pushback to adding arch-specific ifdefs (which
I agree with, but as I responded there see as the lesser evil), so
unless there's a very good reason to add that complexity, I'd rather not.
