Oh well.
Okay. I checked every macro in there, and indeed, it does not look
like these macros are used outside of bswap.h itself. I modified
the macros to expand to syntactically-incorrect code and modified
all usages of those inside bswap.h to make it correct again, just
to verify, and did a rebuild. Unfortunately I don't have easy
access to non-x86 hardware to try other host byte order, but this
should already be a good test.
So that should be an okay change.
So.. Applying to -trivial, thank you! :)
