------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
The call to the macro TCP_SEQ_BETWEEN(a,b,c) causes (b) to
be evaluated twice on LITTLE_ENDIAN machines because of the
call to ntohl().  This produces more code (at least on the ARM).  As a current 
work around, I have left all of the code in tcp_in.c untouched and changed the 
TCP_SEQ_BETWEEN() macro in tcp.h to 
(TCP_SEQ_GEQ(a,b) && TCP_SEQ_LEQ(a,c))
This both works and produces less code.

Summary:  Problem w/ TCP_SEQ_BETWEEN at ONE place in tcp_in.c

Original Submission:  I just finished a port from lwIP-0.7.2 to the current 
code in CVS.  The processor is an LPC2292 with a CS8900 ethernet chip.  The LPC 
is an ARM7TDMI which operates in LITTLE_ENDIAN mode.  The problem shows up for 
me when using Adam's minimal http server.  I have isolated it to the 
TCP_SEQ_BETWEEN in tcp_in.c at line 822.  When I use the
previous macros, the code serves pages just fine.  When I use the new macro, it 
does not.  The code fragment that works is:

  while (pcb->unsent != NULL &&
         TCP_SEQ_LEQ(ntohl(pcb->unsent->tcphdr->seqno) + 
         TCP_TCPLEN(pcb->unsent), ackno) &&
         TCP_SEQ_LEQ(ackno, pcb->snd_max)
         /*TCP_SEQ_BETWEEN(ackno,
           ntohl(pcb->unsent->tcphdr->seqno) +
           TCP_TCPLEN(pcb->unsent), pcb->snd_max)*/

So far I have been unable to determine why in this instance the macro does not 
work.  Maybe something to do with LITTLE_ENDIAN.  Maybe another set of eyes can 
spot it.
