There's not that much that can be overridden that would affect the
layout of pg_control. The only other thing I can think of at the
moment is that moving from 32-bit to 64-bit time_t can screw things
up --- but that shouldn't affect the interpretation of the pg_control
version number, which as already noted certainly looks like it's the
wrong endianness.
Stefan, could you post the actual pg_control file as a binary
attachment?
