yes, and i e-mailed out this patch twice (with like a week span between) and 
got no responses ... hence i filed a bug in the hopes it'd get fixed ... i 
dont like keeping patches to ourselves in Gentoo, if i send them upstream, 
everyone benefits ...

very true ... typo when i rewrote the patch from 0.9.7e to cvs HEAD

yep, i'll be able to verify this in the next week or so ... i only have 1 big 
endian arm machine, and it's currently in the 'shop'

i'm not so sure about the defines being just for performance options ... i 
found that openssh failed to work correctly unless the -DL_ENDIAN was changed 
to -DB_ENDIAN ... but then again, ive never poked around the openssl code so 
what the hell do i know :)
