gnulib-tool is used is many CI jobs. Just adding 'python3' to the
prerequisites of such a job makes it run faster. Here are the execution
times for a single run, before and after adding 'python3', for those
CIs that I maintain or co-maintain. In minutes and seconds.

For the implementation of these functions, maybe the existing
Gnulib module 'byteswap' is interesting.

You can work on this, once Paul has created an

Yes, those might be a good reason for a Gnulib endian module,
