-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wrote the current endianness test Yhc uses for telling the ffi library it compiles. It uses C (compiled from Python/Scons), and it's an endianness test, so it's not portable. Seeing as there has been a bit of interest in a Haskell-based build system, whether or not that happens, I wrote a test in Haskell based around (Ptr WordX), and it works correctly on my big-endian machine at least (and its comments reference a modern source on endianness, namely, wikipedia :).
