Bug while compiling libgcj under AIX

[Dean Hill]

FYI: I've been communicating with Andrew Haley while I'm trying to build 
libgcj under AIX. I sent some diagnostic info to Andrew on Friday, 1/2/04.

I think I just discovered a small "configure" bug when building fastjar. AIX 
is a big endian machine. The configure script creates config.h containing 
the define “WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN 1”. However jartool.c (which includes config.h) 
tests for “WORDS_BIGENDIAN” (no second underscore).

To get a correct fastjar executable, I had to change config.h to 
“WORDS_BIGENDIAN 1”. Of course jartool.c could have been changed instead (so 
long as config.h and jartool.c are in agreement).

If this fix is not made, then you get a fastjar executable that runs, but it 
will think all jar files are invalid because the jar header/signature is 
interpreted as little endian.

I hope this info helps.
