  I need to put some byte order ifdef's in my code based on CPU
architecture type.  The Apollo SR10 cpp doesn't define the architecture
type being compiled on.  I.e., I can't do things like ``#ifdef mc68000''.
Note that I can't replace this with ``#ifdef apollo'' since Apollo now
has a non mc68000 architecture.  For all I know, the new RISC
architecture is Big Endian just as the mc68000 is, but unless Apollo is
willing to guarantee that all future products will have exactly the same
byte ordering, ifdef'ing on apollo seems somewhat silly ...
