The MO file specification is not very clear:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/MO-Files.html

The only place it talks about endianness is this:

“The magic number will always signal GNU MO files. The number is stored
in the byte order used when the MO file was generated, so the magic
number really is two numbers: 0x950412de and 0xde120495.”

I could be wrong, but my interpretation is that I should trust the
magic number to indicate which byte order to use for every 4-byte
number in the file. This is a bit of a stretch, admittedly, but I think
it’s more robust that way.
