Hi Dan,

Yes, you are right. It is the next sparse warning in line for that file.
Including the fix for that, the patch would be as showed below.

There are similar endianness warnings for other variables in that file,
like the FIXME in last line of the patch. But keeping in mind the rule
'one thing per patch' I guess this should be fixed in other patche/s, right?

Regards,

Gaston
