Partially. The second part (checking against 32-bit Fortran calling
64-bit BLAS) is - that's why there are 3 numbers. The first part
assumes little endian; however, I think the case of 64-bit Fortran
calling 32-bit BLAS on big endian architecture actually has no chance
of getting that far; it's bound to faile the earlier tests. So, in
general, the test as whole should be endian-proof, though of course
that needs to be tested in order to be sure.
