The form "#if (defined(__BYTE_ORDER) && (__BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN)) || defined(__BIG_ENDIAN)
is completely buggy. Don't use that.

I've sent the fix to Peter to remove the offending #if here:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1445357149.71067.1643137248305.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com/T/#mbbad3961494feefb98cb6d092879e3ea41b33df8

Please use the correct non-bogus form instead:

#if defined(__BYTE_ORDER) ? (__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN) : defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN)

Thanks,

Mathieu
