?MAKE:	-pick add $@ %<
?S:byteorder:
?S:	This variable holds the byte order. In the following, larger digits
?S:	indicate more significance.  The variable byteorder is either 4321
?S:	on a big-endian machine, or 1234 on a little-endian one.
?S:	cannot figure it out.
?S:.
?C:BYTEORDER:
?C:	This symbol holds the hexadecimal constant defined in byteorder,
?C:	i.e. 1234 for little-endian or 4321 for big-ending.
?C:.
?H:#define BYTEORDER 0x$byteorder	/* large digits for MSB */

?T:order
: check for ordering of bytes in a word
?X:
?X: An idea from Guido Draheim <Guido.Draheim@gmx.de> checking the endianness
?X: without actually executing code, which allows cross-compiling.
