I'm a little worried by this, because most of pixman (and cairo) #ifdef's
out code depending on the endianness detected by the compiler.

Anyway, regarding this patch, the worst case is that this check is more
paranoid than needed. I think we might want to investigate if this check
is also needed elsewhere.

"git am" still complains about trailing whitespace in patch 2/4 version 2:
/home/ranma42/Code/fdo/pixman/.git/rebase-apply/patch:128: trailing
whitespace.
/home/ranma42/Code/fdo/pixman/.git/rebase-apply/patch:163: trailing whitespace.

Apart from this, for the series:
