[issue4060] PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16(..., byteorder=0) gets it wrong on Mac OS X/PowerPC

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I agree with Trent that this is a bug, and I agree with the second patch
(pymacconfig.h.patch2).

Mark-Andre, sys.byteorder is not affected because detects the byte order
at run-time, not at compile-time. Likewise, in the struct module,
several code paths rely on dynamic determination of the endianness, such
as _PyLong_FromByteArray, the float packing, and the whichtable function.
