OTOH, this may be the first run-time changeable state variable that
affects the operation of the runtime.  I wonder if another
compile-time parameter setting like -DENDIAN={BIG,LITTLE} would
do the job as well, without having to contemplate the possibility
of unexpected set_endian() calls during runtime.
