Testing on a BigEndian platform - xoft - 08-29-2012

Is there anyone who can compile and test MCServer on any big endian platform?
I have suspicions that currently the code has trouble converting endianness for some elements of the network protocol, so I'd like to hear if it's just my imagination or it's true.

I don't even know any big endian platforms!

Older MacOS on PowerPC was big endian, but that is already ancient. I think I've read somewhere that ARM can run in both endiannesses, but I have no idea if that is ever used. Some exotics, maybe?
