Fairly often. Solaris 8 has two macros (_BIG_ENDIAN and
_LITTLE_ENDIAN), but autoconf 2.50 doesn't know about it. Neither
does OpenSSH 2.9p1. So AC_C_BIGENDIAN works only for native compiles.
Fixing this is notrivial, unfortunately.

If this is rijndael.c, then you also need to include <sys/param.h>
or whatever before that line.
Also, if you want to throw in cross-compiles for Solaris 8 while
you're at it, append "|| defined _BIG_ENDIAN".
(This is an indication of why the fix for autoconf isn't trivial.)
