64bit integer problem?

If the architecture supports both, then it really doesn't matter. PowerPC 
is a "big endian" architecture, but supports little endian.

There isn't an ARM implementation that doesn't have little endian (or the 
option for big endian AFAIK). The bigger question is, why put the chip in 
big endian mode in the first place when little is the default?
