endian.hpp may select a wrong endian for NetBSD

[Takeshi Mouri <takeshi.mouri.net@…>]

In <boost/detail/endian.hpp>:

#elif defined(_BIG_ENDIAN)
# define BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN
# define BOOST_BYTE_ORDER 4321
#elif defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
# define BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN
# define BOOST_BYTE_ORDER 1234

But, the system header <sys/endian.h> on NetBSD always defines _LITTLE_ENDIAN, _BIG_ENDIAN and _PDP_ENDIAN. So BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN is defined on little endian platforms.

Please change it as follow:

#elif defined(_BIG_ENDIAN) && !defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
# define BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN
# define BOOST_BYTE_ORDER 4321
#elif defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN) && !defined(_BIG_ENDIAN)
# define BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN
# define BOOST_BYTE_ORDER 1234
