[vtkusers] GCC 4.5 Mac Os X

[Michael Jackson]

Start with a clean build directory then run cmake until it errors out. Then look in the CMakeError.log for "TestBigEndian" or "TEST_BIG_ENDIAN". When you find that the complete compile command,error and test code that was compiled will be shown all together in the error log. That should tell you what is going on.
