To my knowledge there is no problem with the current implementation. Endian

Jonas said the bits were swapped, not the bytes. So PPC32 (1 shl 30) becomes
(1 shl 6) on Intel (actual), while it should be (1 shl 1) (expected use by
compiler). It's both the "second bit", bit it's in different places.
Okay, but does this have impact on the discussion? I mean it makes
manual endian conversion a bit more tricky (also need to swap bits
around), but doesn't change the fact that you manually need to do endian
conversion.
