Sure. Does anybody really care?

You could obviously just open-code the things, but the fact is,
"le64toh()" isn't exactly a standard function anyway, so now that I
see it needed I go "yeah, that's clearly completely unacceptable".

I'd much rather say "screw cross-compiling" (because let's face it,
nobody sane cross-compiles x86 on anything else) than say "screw old
machines".
