I am not entirely sure how the value of  BYTE_SWAP ought to be defined, but
given that solaris is available for big-endian sparc/ultra and
for little-endian x86 CPUs,
we probably need to check the
endian-ness of the CPU by running a small
program and use the result to set the
value for BYTE_ORDER, etc..

(Now I recall I had an issue with a very old libc on linux (circa 1996)
in that it defined LITTLE_ENDIAN and BIG_ENDIAN macro in
ctype.h of all the header files(!) and this uncalled-for
name space pollution collided with a user program, namely crack 4-1. :-)
Anyway, setting the value using a small program seems to me
a non-protruding solution and is a very reliable one IMHO.)
