#9423: Sparc build fail due to no Endianness
----------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  jared.szechy@…  |       Type:  Patches
   Status:  new             |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost  |    Version:  Boost 1.55.0
 Severity:  Showstopper     |   Keywords:  sparc
----------------------------+------------------------------
 When building boost 1.55.0 on Sparc the following errors occur throughout
 the compilation.

 {{{

 It seems that the endian.h files were changed since 1.54, and in that
 transition sparc was forgotten about. I was able to solve the compilation
 issue with the attached patch.
