so i ran the same test on another BigEndian architecture "ppc64", which 
is not run by default on our CI.

it has the same issue (and both backtrace and mus-config.h are the same)

after that, i compiled snd for PowerPC (32bit, LittleEndian), and 
*again* i got the same backtrace.
the mus-config.h is practically the same, except for SIZEOF_VOID_P which 
now reads "4" (as is expected for a 32bit system).

the machine i tested on had a Power8 CPU (for both tests).

to conclude: it seems that 'snd' is broken on BigEndian.

sweet.
