[x264-devel] [PATCH] Fix build on Solaris 10 SPARC

[Sean McGovern]

You would have to test for crosscompile earlier and set an environment variable manually beforehand or add an argument to the script to explicitly declare the endianness you were building for (this is the same thing autoconf makes you do in this case, setting $ac_cv_big_endian to "yes" or "no" before calling configure.

How do you intend for that to work if cross-compiling?
