Ah, right.

I just thought that it would be okay to bypass 32bits and then check its target
location, since we know it is LE.
Indeed, I was wrong that your concern was this line will be converted to BE when
CPU loads this 32-bit value.

Actually, I tested this before, but I got somehow failure, so tried this one.
Once I've checked bitmap contents in more details, I realized that this should
be a correct way; I confirmed that this has no problem.

I'll send another patch.
Thank you so much,
