-Subject: [PATCH] src/regex.c: support old compilers for the endian
- check
-
-libselinux 2.6 has added some code in regex.c that uses __BYTE_ORDER__
-to determine the system endianness. Unfortunately, this definition
-provided directly by the compiler doesn't exist in older gcc versions
-such as gcc 4.4.
-
-In order to address this, this commit extends the logic to use
-<endian.h> definitions if __BYTE_ORDER__ is not provided by the
-compiler. This allows libselinux to build properly with gcc 4.4.
