Comment (by riz@…):

 I recently tried building something using Boost on NetBSD/arm using boost
 1.52, and it failed because it couldn't detect the endianness properly.  I
 see that in the trunk there is testing against __ARMEL__ and __ARMEB__,
 but the proper way to fix it is to use sys/endian.h (or, I guess,
 machine/endian.h under OpenBSD).

 The updated patch should be correct for NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
 DragonFlyBSD.
