Thanks, but this is already in the SVN version:

If you are cross-compiling for PPC the AC_C_BIGENDIAN macro from
autoconf just works.

You mean Mac OSX Universal Binaries?
One solution would be to compile for PPC and i386 separately then glue
those 2 together, see:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/compiling/chapter_4_section_3.html
There is also a check for FPU endianness, which can't be done using
preprocessor macros, and needs to be done during ./configure, so
I think that compiling 2 executables, one for each architecture is the
safest choice.
If you want to solve this in the AC_C_BIGENDIAN macro, please raise the
issue with the autoconf developers.

You should change configure.in, and not configure directly. When
autoconf is run it will regenerate configure from configure.in,
thus any changes to configure will be overwritten.
