Re: [PATCH] sha1dc: safeguard against outside definitions of BIGENDIAN

So here is what I came up with as a replacement (this time as a
proper patch not a comment on a patch).

Dscho, could you see if this fixes your build?

The Continuous Testing is back to normal, thanks.

Thanks for a quick response.

I wished if we can reuse the endianness detection we already have in
"compat/bswap.h", which is included by git-compat-util.h hence also
here.  It would have been very nice if we could say

    #if GIT_BYTE_ORDER == GIT_BIG_ENDIAN
        ... do big endian thing ...
    #else
        ... do little endian thing ...
    #endif

when necessary, without having to reinvent the cheks on __BYTE_ORDER
and friends.  It however needs a bit of rework in "compat/bswap.h",
which is way beyond the scope of making a quick fix-up to unblock us.
