Just to remind people, Jerry Stuckle's "solution" is to write a program
to determine the byte order, and to use its output in the build of the
program that needs to know.  This is, of course, not what people mean by
determining something "at compile time".  He likely know this because it
removes any meaning from the phrase --- anything that can be determined
at run time can be determined at "Jerry Stuckle compile time".
