The following patch will fix AC_C_BIGENDIAN, for cross compiling, if
narrowing is a fatal error in the used compiler.
Narrowing should not be a fatal error unless you used -Werror, which we
advise against doing (it is impossible in general to write all configure
snippets to be warning-proof against all possible -Werror settings).
However, if the change is easy to maintain, I don't mind including an
obvious warning avoidance patch.

and that is easy to maintain, so I'll go ahead and incorporate it when I
get a chance.
