No.

As I said in my previous message, the only effect of BITS_BIG_ENDIAN is
on the ZERO_EXTRACT/SIGN_EXTRACT RTL.  There is no effect on structure
layout.  It is merely an internal implementation detail, which only
matters is the target has bit-field extract (extv) or insert (insv)
instruction patterns.
