Public bug reported:
In my terminal
$> cat /etc/hostname
alien
$>
The above output seems to indicate that `0x0a` is the final byte of this
file, an ordinary Unix newline.
$> hexdump /etc/hostname
0000000 6c61 6569 0a6e
Here it seems that the file, in two-byte words, is being displayed with
each pair of bytes reversed.
In other words, hexdump is defaulting to the wrong endianness.
