Perhaps it's just my m68k side speaking (m68k = big endian only, for those
who don't know), but I think it's safe to say that doing anything to make
it easier for lazy mouth-breathing code-typists to write sloppy and
incorrect code is a Bad Thing[tm].
Besides that, switching ppc-linux to little-endian mode would be (to put it
mildly) a pain in the ass of galactic proportions.
