The issue is two folds:
 1. uhd bundles (or re-implements?) its own copy of msgpack-c;
 2. the bundled msgpack-c borked its detection of the endianness.

So, I think a better solution would be to actually fix the endian
detection [0]. Indeed, a CPU is either big or little endian [1], so
failing to detect actually detect that is pretty serious...

[0] uhd-3.15.0.0/host/lib/deps/rpclib/include/rpc/msgpack/predef/other/endian.h

[1] Yeah, back in the good old days, we had mixed endian CPUs that were
word-swapped, but those really no longer exist, and are definitely not a
target for Buildroot.

Yann E. MORIN.
