1 dnl @synopsis MN_C_FIND_ENDIAN
2 dnl
3 dnl Determine endian-ness of target processor.
4 dnl @version 1.1 Mar 03 2002
5 dnl @author Erik de Castro Lopo <erikd AT mega-nerd DOT com>
6 dnl
7 dnl Majority written from scratch to replace the standard autoconf macro
8 dnl AC_C_BIGENDIAN. Only part remaining from the original it the invocation
9 dnl of the AC_TRY_RUN macro.

17 dnl Find endian-ness in the following way:
18 dnl 1) Look in <endian.h>.
19 dnl 2) If 1) fails, look in <sys/types.h> and <sys/param.h>.
20 dnl 3) If 1) and 2) fails and not cross compiling run a test program.
21 dnl 4) If 1) and 2) fails and cross compiling then guess based on target.
