Yes, life is hard sometimes. If you can provide a reliable way to
detect endianness when cross-compiling, feel free to send a patch.

Description:
------------
php 5.0.3 and earlier used AC_C_BIGENDIAN during configuration to
detect the endianness of the target system.  This autoconf macro is
capable of detecting the endianness of many systems even when
cross-compiling.

php 5.0.4 now uses AC_TRY_RUN instead, which means that it is no longer
able to detect the endianness of a target, and it must instead be
configured manually.

This makes it harder to configure php correctly when building for
embedded systems, such as the Linksys nslu2, where this problem was
noticed.
