Note that your patch was/is in direct violation of the comment just
above those defines ("elaborate games with platform-specific endianness
headers", which would, of course, include these glibc-specific
endianness definitions), and upstream has rejected such patches in the
past (sometimes condescendingly). Remember that it is supposed to be
possible to build SimGear/FlightGear on FreeBSD, Windows, MacOS, and
other systems which don't use glibc, so you *can not possibly* "clean
up" by relying on a glibc-specific feature. If you're going to submit
patches to upstream, you're probably better off following their
preferred practice, as you're unlikely to be able to change their minds.
(It would be possible to make something similar a Debian-specific
modification, though, if there's a good enough reason to diverge from
upstream on this matter. I'd probably still prefer a patch which does
not try to "clean up", though.)
