Comment (by egall@…):

 Endianness is checked like this in the configure script:
 {{{
 AC_C_BIGENDIAN(, [AC_DEFINE([WORDS_LITTLEENDIAN], 1, [Define to 1 if your
 processor stores words with the least significant byte
    first (like Intel and VAX, unlike Motorola and SPARC).])])
 }}}
 ([https://github.com/kohler/lcdf-typetools/blob/master/configure.ac#L138
 ref])

 I haven't tried this myself yet, but perhaps someone could try patching
 the configure script to define `WORDS_BIGENDIAN` in the first condition
 instead of just leaving it blank? Like this:
 {{{
 AC_C_BIGENDIAN([
   AC_DEFINE([WORDS_BIGENDIAN],[1],[Define to 1 if your processor stores
 words with the most significant byte first (like PowerPC, unlike Intel).])
   ],[
   AC_DEFINE([WORDS_LITTLEENDIAN],[1],[Define to 1 if your processor stores
 words with the least significant byte first (like Intel and VAX, unlike
 Motorola and SPARC).])
 ])
 }}}
