To be a bit more constructive, I'd feel it MUCH safer, if this "If
_BIG_ENDIAN is defined, set SHA1DC_BIGENDIAN" is done _ONLY_ when
we definitively KNOW that we are on Solaris, something like:

        #if defined(__sun) && defined(_BIG_ENDIAN)
        /*
         * Solaris ...
         */
        #define SHA1DC_BIGENDIAN
        #endif
