I think you're rightThe code in question was originally written to work on a Sun. My foolish assumption was that, since the Sun OS was based on Unix, the difference in endian-ness was a software thang, and so would naturally be the same for Linux.
A quick retrospective look on Wikipedia suggests that it is indeed related to the processor, not the OS. D'OH!
