That would only tell you for which platform the particular binary you're running was compiled. It would not tell which particular microprocessor chip you were running on at runtime.

In particular, it would give you the wrong answer for a PPC binary running on an Intel chip via Rosetta.

Right, but it seems to me that that's what you would want. I can think of reasons to need to know what endianness your code is running under, but so far haven't thought of any reason to care if your BigEndian code is actually running under Rosetta on an Intel chip.

Best,
