    ldconfig: use little-endian hints file on all architectures
    
    Remove the test for building on a big-endian architecture, which
    preserved the previous default of creating the ELF hints file in
    native byte-order of the respective architecture.
    
    Support for little-endian hints files has been added to the
    run-time linker and the pkg command.
    
    This is a step towards architecture independent little-endian hints
    files, but support for big-endian hints files shall only be removed
    from the run-time linker (and ldconfig and pkg) when the last release
    that defaulted to hints files in host-byte has been declared EOL.
