   Does anybody sees a means to compute this at compile time?  Using the
   same trick as we did for SIZEOF etc.

Doug Evans suggested a trick a while back.  You compile
    long i = 0x30313233;
and then
    grep 0123 foo.o
    grep 3210 foo.o
If only the first grep matches, you have a big endian system.  If only
the second grep matches, you have a little endian system.  If both or
neither match, you don't know.
