dnl @synopsis AC_C_BIGENDIAN_CROSS
dnl
dnl Check endianness even when crosscompiling
dnl (partially based on the original AC_C_BIGENDIAN).
dnl
dnl The implementation will create a binary, and instead of running
dnl the binary it will be grep'ed for some symbols that will look
dnl different for different endianness of the binary.
