Actually, I found another way to approach this. AC_C_BIGENDIAN works
when crosscompiling if your headers define BYTE_ORDER, even on
2.13. I've posted to the mingw list to see if I can arrange for that
macro to be added to the mingw headers.
If you don't want to move to autoconf2.50, would you consider adding
size defaults for the libffi SIZEOF macros until the move to 2.50 is
undertaken?
