[PATCH] util: detect byte order

From: David Bremner <david at tethera.net>

Unfortunately old versions of GCC and clang do not provide byte order
macros, so we re-invent them.

If UTIL_BYTE_ORDER is not defined, we fall back to macros supported by
recent versions of GCC and clang

I pushed the series
id:1385328583-24602-1-git-send-email-david at tethera.net; unfortunately
that broke compilation on old versions of GCC, in particular on our
buildbot. Here is a proposed fix for the fix.
