Are there any exotic platforms where the same header files might be used
to build executables with either endianness?  If so, the public header
files should not "pin" the endianness, just like they should not "pin"
the machine ABI (32-bit vs. 64-bit, ...).

I don't recall whether any such platforms still exist and are supported.
