 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	apb

 Modified Files:
 	src/tools/compat: compat_defs.h configure.ac
 
 Log Message:
 Provide definitions for {be,le}{16,32,64}{enc,dec} if necessary.
 This is adapted from the very detailed fix provided by
 Giles Lean in PR bin/36678.
 
 Only one simplified implementation is provided, instead of the
 two implementations conditional on __GNUC_PREREQ__(2,95) that are
 provided in NetBSD's <sys/endian.h>.  The use of memcpy instead of
 __builtin__memcpy, and the absence of __inline or __unused, should make
 it independent of GCC.
