Is something like:

	printf "#include <machine/endian_machdep.h>\n_BYTE_ORDER\n" | \
	    ${CC} -I${DESTDIR}/usr/include -E - | tail -1

better (for now)?  Works on pmax, alpha, sparc and i386 but I can't test
on any native ppc or m68k systems.  It does print the right thing for a
powerpc cross-compile run from alpha.
