Ok, I see now that the Makefile on the powerpc has -DWORDS_BIGENDIAN=1 in
the DEFS variable. And so I compiled my test program that way and then the
output was swapped vs the AMD64 box. Then, I ran it with the value 77 and
the output (in hex) was 4d00. Interestingly enough, 4d00 and 004d are one
of the discrepancies in the usbmon output I captured and posted a few days
ago. I tried 77 because of this line in mlc.cpp in MlcChannel::Open() right
after the ClaimInterface() call:
if (pDev->WriteECPChannel(fd, 77))
I'm tempted to build without the -DWORDS_BIGENDIAN=1to see what happens but
it doesn't really make sense to me that I should have to do so.
