I had a Sun 386i running SunOS 4. You should have seen all the ifdef's in 
the kernel headers to deal with the fact that not only was the endianness 
different, but bit fields were assigned by the 386 compiler in the opposite 
direction from SPARC. (All the hardware was dealt with as structs of bit 
fields.)
