The 'problem' is that Config.h assumes it is on a litle endian
machine, and defines LITTLE_ENDIAN. This breaks ReadWordAtPC on big
endian machines. However you do mention in the INSTALL file that the
LITTLE_ENDIAN flag may have to be changed. It might be worth putting
in a little bit more detail so that more people notice it....
