Summary: endianness detection fails on IRIX 5.3

Initial Comment:
Configuring python 2.3.4 on IRIX 5.3 fails as follows:

checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... unknown
configure: error: unknown endianness
presetting ac_cv_c_bigendian=no (or yes) will help
*** Error code 1

The problem is that the respective defines are in sys/
endian.h, which is not being included in the test code.
