I suppose, Thom is in search of a method for OS X. Until RB isn't universal, your method won't work. Will it?
It will work as I described: telling you whether RB is running natively. He said he wanted to prepare for universal binaries, so I think that's what he's looking for.

I thought it was the other way around (might be wrong) but I thought PPC and the 68000 series from motorola were LittleEndian and Intel (and compatibles) were big endians.
Nope. Motorola and PowerPC are sensible (most significant bytes first), while Intel and compatibles are backwards (least significant bytes first, i.e. little-endian). (Network protocols are usually big-endian, too.)
