I don't know of any way to do it bash, either. But, if you know
that Perl is installed (via other dependencies, or whatever),
you could run a little Perl script from bash to tell you which
endian is in use. E.g.,
endian=`perl -e 'if (unpack("V", pack "L", 0x1234) == 0x1234) {print
"l";}else{print "b";}'`
will assign either 'l' or 'b' to $endian.
