I forgot about some Makefile.in/Makefile.am fix-ups when building for big-endian. Makefile.in/Makefile.am have some hard-coded little-endian defines. I'm too lazy to figure out how to fix the automake stuff so I just alter the makefiles before calling configure. The fix-ups look like:
list=`find . -name 'Makefile*' | xargs grep -l BMI_MACHINE_ENDIANNESS_LITTLE`; \
for f in $$list; do \
sed -i -e 's/BMI_MACHINE_ENDIANNESS_LITTLE/BMI_MACHINE_ENDIANNESS_BIG/g' $$f; \
done
list=`find . -name 'Makefile*' | xargs grep -l BMI_ENDIANNESS_LITTLE`; \
for f in $$list; do \
sed -i -e 's/BMI_ENDIANNESS_LITTLE/BMI_ENDIANNESS_BIG/g' $$f; \
done
