> Can I please get a review for this change which proposes to fix the issue 
> reported in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8206890?
> 
> The `jlink` command allows a `--endian` option to specify the byte order in 
> the generated image. Before this change, when such a image was being 
> launched, the code would assume the byte order in the image to be the native 
> order of the host where the image is being launched. That would result in 
> failure to launch java, as noted in the linked issue.
> 
> The commit in this PR, changes relevant places to not assume native order and 
> instead determine the byte order by reading the magic bytes in the image 
> file's header content.
> 
> A new jtreg test has been added which reproduces the issue and verifies the 
> fix.
