NATIVEENDIAN is set to LittleEndian on a Big-endian platform

[barracuda156]

Maybe I misunderstand something, but why on a Big-endian system I get NATIVEENDIAN='LittleEndian' in configure status?
Autoconf correctly determines the endianness and sets it here:

## ---------------- ##
## Cache variables. ##
## ---------------- ##

ac_cv_build=powerpc-apple-darwin10.0.0d2
ac_cv_c_bigendian=yes
ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=yes

Yet, further down I see:

MD4ARCH='power'
MD4COMP='cc'
MINOR_VERSION='1'
MLDONKEY_VERSION='3.1.7'
MORE_SUBDIRS=''
MORE_TARGETS=' mldonkey_gui$(EXE)'
NATIVEENDIAN='LittleEndian'
NEWCXX='ccache /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-14'

maybe because 🤔

The default for action-if-true is to define ‘WORDS_BIGENDIAN’. The default for action-if-false is to do nothing. The default for action-if-unknown is to abort configure and tell the installer how to bypass this test. And finally, the default for action-if-universal is to ensure that ‘WORDS_BIGENDIAN’ is defined if and only if a universal build is detected and the current code is big-endian; this default works only if autoheader is used.

If you use this macro without specifying action-if-universal, you should also use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS; otherwise ‘WORDS_BIGENDIAN’ may be set incorrectly for Mac OS X universal binary files.

anyhow this check will go away with bitstring unbundling

Just in case, that was a single-arch build (gcc does not support universal builds at all presently).
