I would not be so sure without checking.
Do you have access to compilers for both big and little endian? 
If yes, you can look at the difference between the output of:

gcc -xc -E -dM /dev/null

On all the machines that I am aware off that support both big and little
endian the compiler predefines a symbol to distinguish between them.

I'll install this when the endianess issue gets resolved.
