not so nice an idea, and remember the powerpc can be both little and bigendian,
so this is not entirely enough.

why you don't use a nice and correct autoconf/automake  made configure script ?

i think there are standard ways of testing endiannes, and if not, you could 
just write a int somewhere and then read it byte by byte and test the result.

i will wait so long then, email me privately when you have something. so i can check it.
