Thanks.

I think that's enough for someone who is making or fixing a package
using the guide as a side book. A hint of the existance of some
mechanism to resolve a particular situation. mk/endian.mk is well
documented, once you know of its utility.

When writing a new port, sure. When editing a port done by a pkgsrc
and netbsd developer, no, one assumes that the way endianess is checked
by this person is the correct way.

That's precisely why I asked for the inclusion of some hint in the
guide. Thanks again.

By the way, the maintainer hasn't responded and this is the kind
of thing I touch once or twice a year and it's a shame to leave it
broken for aarch64 users. Would you or some other developer apply
the patches I sent to the list, if you think they are ok, of course?
