This broke builds for newlib targets, as they don't have
<endian.h> but <machine/endian.h>.  See PR104080 for
details.  After the obvious fix, there seems to be some
additional type mismatch also quoted in the bugzilla.

Not thrilled by large stage3 changes.  The fallout risk
should have been obvious.  :(

(And after this, there's a regress-84 to sort out.  Bah.)

brgds, H-P
