Comment (by kcrisman):
> In `sage.misc.randstate.pyx` there is a method `set_seed_gap()` that
checks for big endian-ness and flips bytes around in that case. It could
be that GAP's new random number code is actually big endian clean. Can you
modify `set_seed_gap()` and see if that fixes things?
Well, what do you know! I didn't think Sage had any custom code for big
endian... I'll try this now. It certainly sounds likely.

It does fix the problem in randstate.pyx, so I think you're right about
the others. Testing now.
