indeed, it would cause problems. i.e. compile some stuff with wrong endianness
and later silently crash.
in this specific case here the build stops later on on another error, caused by
another case of configure failing.
but i may have well overlooked _this_ specific issue, fixing the others that
caused the build errors, and later being clueless why xgcc or something else
segfaults.
since autofocn is "built-in" into gcc, it's both a autofnoc / gcc bug,
and needs to be fixed here and there.
