windres uses unsigned long for fwrite'ing 32-bit little-endian integers (DWORD).
This breaks cross tools on 64-bit and/or bigendian hosts.
When writing res file, resource header (write_res_header() from resres.c) is two
64-bit integers instead of 32 bit.
There's also FIXME in code about that issue (resres.c):
/* FIXME: This file does not work correctly in a cross configuration.
It assumes that it can use fread and fwrite to read and write
integers. It does no swapping. */
