Hi, Stan.
Support for big endian systems has been deprecated in Dyninst, and will
likely be removed in the next release. When that happens, usage of the
TestBigEndian internal CMake module will go away. It looks like you are
using an x86_64 platform, so an immediate workaround is to get rid of most
everything in cmake/endian.cmake (patch below).
Thanks.
