Info of gcc constants (defines) for native/host endianess

Thanks a lot. I did see this define for sparc but on a different arch 
(linux on AMD) there was a different flag that i had to use. I was hoping 
that there was something standard.

>>What is the architecture for which you need this ?

Sorry for incomplete info... its something like this
 linux  AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 server
 SunOS on sparcv9
 HP11.11 on ? ( some little endian CPU)

Actually what i was thinking was that i could get some (standard) 
information for the flags to be used for common architecture families
I hope i can get it from some gcc header ;-)

Thanks
