Yes and yes.  And we have been over the whole cross compiling thing
before... :)  As I understand it, it's not CMake's forte.

Well, Apple's headers use __BIG_ENDIAN__ all over.  So any compiler that
supports Apple's headers must have that define set up.  icc does.  Dunno
about IBM's.  So should be safe to rely on.  If Thursday's dashboards
are red, we'll know why. :)
