"uname -p" returns usually unknown :) The intention was probably to use the -m option but then it should match against ppc. Even that is wrong. The application should never try to define it itself.

Thanks for the patch. I've applied it in r540 (http://code.google.com/p/stimfit/source/detail?r=60f1355bb926442c4e0c4add8b1bc26c5c4ba954).
It seems to build now but I have no clue if it works. A testsuite could show that :)
$ make check ... [ PASSED ] 7 tests. PASS: stimfittest ============= 1 test passed ============= Will test tomorrow on OS X/powerpc for which the endianness checks were originally written.
