System: NetBSD parity-error.cv.sony.co.jp 1.2G NetBSD 1.2G (PARITY_ERROR) #184: Tue Aug 5 09:35:59 JST 1997 enami@parity-error.cv.sony.co.jp:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PARITY_ERROR i386


>Description:
	Amd fails to determine the endianness of port.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile amd on little endian machine (e.g. i386), and type amd
	-v.  It says it is big endian.

% amd -v

cpu=i386 (big-endian), arch=i386, karch=i386.
          ^^^^^^^^^^
full_os=netbsd1.2G, os=netbsd1, osver=1.2G, vendor=unknown.
Map support for: root, passwd, union, nis, ndbm, file, error.
AMFS: nfs, link, nfsx, host, linkx, program, union, inherit, ufs, cdfs, 
      pcfs, auto, direct, toplvl, error.
FS: cdfs, mfs, nfs, nfs3, nullfs, pcfs, ufs, umapfs, unionfs.
Primary network: primnetname="43.4.144.0" (primnetnum=43.4.144).
No Subsidiary network.

>Fix:
	Amd uses macro constant BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN too early.
	Here is workaround:
