- dnl @synopsis AC_C_BIGENDIAN_CROSS
- dnl
- dnl Check endianess even when crosscompiling
- dnl (partially based on the original AC_C_BIGENDIAN).
- dnl
- dnl The implementation will create a binary, and instead of running
- dnl the binary it will be grep'ed for some symbols that will look
- dnl different for different endianess of the binary.
