dnl @synopsis AC_C_FIND_ENDIAN
dnl
dnl Determine endian-ness of target processor.
dnl @version 1.1 Mar 03 2002
dnl @author Erik de Castro Lopo <erikd AT mega-nerd DOT com>
dnl
dnl Majority written from scratch to replace the standard autoconf macro
dnl AC_C_BIGENDIAN. Only part remaining from the original it the invocation
dnl of the AC_TRY_RUN macro.

dnl Find endian-ness in the following way:
dnl 1) Look in <endian.h>.
dnl 2) If 1) fails, look in <sys/types.h> and <sys/param.h>.
dnl 3) If 1) and 2) fails and not cross compiling run a test program.
dnl 4) If 1) and 2) fails and cross compiling then guess based on target.
