	Here's the meat of the endian.h file on my Linux box:

/* Definitions for byte order, according to significance of bytes, from
low
   addresses to high addresses.  The value is what you get by putting '4'
   in the most significant byte, '3' in the second most significant byte,
   '2' in the second least significant byte, and '1' in the least
   significant byte.  */
 
#define __LITTLE_ENDIAN 1234
#define __BIG_ENDIAN    4321
#define __PDP_ENDIAN    3412
 
/* This file defines `__BYTE_ORDER' for the particular machine.  */
#include <bits/endian.h>
 
/* Some machines may need to use a different endianness for floating point
   values.  */
#ifndef __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER
# define __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER __BYTE_ORDER
#endif
 
#ifdef  __USE_BSD
# define LITTLE_ENDIAN  __LITTLE_ENDIAN
# define BIG_ENDIAN     __BIG_ENDIAN
# define PDP_ENDIAN     __PDP_ENDIAN
# define BYTE_ORDER     __BYTE_ORDER
#endif
