Oh, yeah. So I think what you actually want in ctype.h et al is:
#define __need_byteorder
#include <endian.h>
Then make <endian.h> just define __*_ENDIAN and include <bits/endian.h>
if included with __need_byteorder defined, and only do its other
declarations (and _ENDIAN_H) if included without __need_byteorder defined.
