I find it hard to judge whether it's worth it or not. You gave one example
for a driver that needs this, but what would be your estimate on how
many other drivers have the same problem, either producing a #warning
or misbehaving if neither symbol is set?

Having all architectures consistently report the endianess would be nice,
but we have to weigh the advantages (currently broken code, potential
simplifications) against the regression risk.
