[PATCH] Ensure __BYTE_ORDER is always set

2014-01-30 Thread Brian Gernhardt
a201c20 (ewah: support platforms that require aligned reads) added a reliance on the existence of __BYTE_ORDER and __BIG_ENDIAN. However, these macros are spelled without the leading __ on some platforms (OS X at least). In this case, the endian-swapping code was added even when unnecessary, whic
