[Queue-developers] solaris gcc cross-compile cure

[Sam L. <sam...@an...>]

The reason ./configure thinks solaris gcc is a cross compiler is because
some of the test cases (like to detect endian-ness) fail either way; so it
assumes the test could not run because it is a cross compiler.

I looked at why the bigendian test failed to run either way, it seems to be
because solaris does *NOT* define either:
BYTE_ORDER
or
BIG_ENDIAN
or
LITTLE_ENDIAN

anywhere!  (Well, maybe in /usr/include/arpa/nameser_compat.h (ultimatly
included from resolv.h) but possibly that is not part of the standard
install?)

/usr/include/sys/isa_defs.h DOES define _LITTLE_ENDIAN, _BIG_ENDIAN but not
BYTE_ORDER
_BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN are not defined to have values, but just to
be "set"

BYTE_ORDER is only defined in name_ser.compat 

So whats the best way to solve this for solaris?
