Well, I think GCC did not provide __builtin_bswap16 consistently until
the 4.8 release:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52624

That seems too recent to me.

vdsomunge makes only three or four potentially byteswapped accesses to
the ELF header.  It's not worth a lot of effort to try to use the most
optimal implementation available.  Why not just use a generic
implementation like is found in mips' elf2ecoff?
