This was the case for cmake <= 2.4, but is not the case anymore for 2.6 and 
above.
A small executable is built and the byte order of a special string inside it 
is checked. 
Please have a look at Modules/TestEndianess.c.in to see how it works.

If you don't find the problem, please send the created binary directly to me.
