Re: So it seems like AC_C_BIGENDIAN is broken for cross case

[Mo DeJong]

How would people feel about the following patch? It sort of fixes
AC_C_BIGENDIAN in the sense that it no longer errors out.
I am not sure how we can detect the system's endian ordering
without actually running a program, so this is a tempory
suggested fix until a beter one comes along.
