Summary: byte order problem on Inter and SGI

System Configuration
--------------------
  Operating System   : RedHat 5.2 i386 and SGI Irix 6.5

  PostgreSQL version : 6.4.2

  Compiler used      : g++

Hardware:

Problem Description:
--------------------
I setup backend on Redhat 5.2 on a PC, and C++ frontend on linux
and SGI, the testlibpq5 program worked correctly, but the
sgi version has wrong byte order for the binary cursor.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Case:
----------
results from PC frontend/PC backend:
tuple 0: got
 i = (4 bytes) 1,
 d = (4 bytes) 3.567,
 p = (4 bytes) 2 points boundbox = (hi=3/4,lo = 1,2)
tuple 1: got
 i = (4 bytes) 2,
 d = (4 bytes) 89.05,
 p = (4 bytes) 2 points boundbox = (hi=4/3,lo = 2,1)

results from SGI frontend/PC backend:
  tuple 0: got
 i = (4 bytes) 16777216,
 d = (4 bytes) -0.000768248,
 p = (4 bytes) 33554432 points  boundbox = (hi=0e-321/0e-321,lo = 0e-320,0e-323)
tuple 1: got
 i = (4 bytes) 33554432,
 d = (4 bytes) -3.17837e-23,
