Yes it will, since 1997/10/09 (so it is in the 1.3 branch too). But I admit
I didn't test it since some time (and I only tested it on a sparc with a
FS created on a i386). Are you sure the FS you are trying to mount is
in LE format ? I think linux/mac existed before the decision to go
with LE filesystems everywhere, so there may be some BE ext2fs lying
around ...
