Solution by TheHunter on #haskell:

be = $(lift $ (1::CChar) /= (unsafePerformIO
                            $ with (1::CInt)
                            $ peekByteOff `flip` 0) ) :: Bool

    Thanks, Joel

Why doesn't this compile?

be = $( (1::CChar) /= (unsafePerformIO
                      $ with (1::CInt)
                      $ peekByteOff `flip` 0) ) :: Bool

Endian.hs:10:8:
    Couldn't match `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib.ExpQ' against `Bool'

    In the expression:

    In the expression:
          $[splice]((1 :: CChar)

            Bool
