[PATCH] Fix endianess in modpost when cross-compiling for sparc on i386

[Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer <mchouque@online.fr>]

	Hi,

this simple patch makes the following code work again:

#ifdef STT_REGISTER
                if (info->hdr->e_machine = EM_SPARC ||
                    info->hdr->e_machine = EM_SPARCV9) {
                        /* Ignore register directives. */
                        if (ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info) = STT_REGISTER)
                                break;
                }
#endif

This portion of code is sparc specific and nothing else in modpost.c uses
e_machine meaning cross-compiling for sparc on i386 (or any little endian
machine) is the only way to experience the bug.

Without it, e_machine has the wrong value and modpost then generates a lot
of "*** Warning: \"symbol\" [filename.ko] undefined" messages.

       Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately
                    explained by stupidity.
