Ah, I've been thinking about this issue too much and have confused myself.

And, I have expressed it as an XY Problem!  :-(

My real question should have been: if I write a byte to a file on one 
architecture, will the byte be the same on all other architectures (i.e. 
386, amd64, arm, s390x, ppc64le) if read by a Go program on them?

Sorry for my confusion.  :-)

Thanks,
Glen
