The sense I'm getting is that while the bigendianp detection is

clever, it isn't complete. It may be that we need to use this along in
conjunctin with the endianness of the OS. That is instead of
big/little endian, what's needed is same/not same endian.

For now, the simplest thing is to just disable all of this and wait to
discover a CD-ROM drive where we have a problem.
