   If neither are true, I imagine it is a bug.  Would it be better to
   have a different single value stored in octave_config_info?  If so,
   what would you like to call it?

Not necessarily: little-endian is 0123, big-endian is 3210, and PDP-11
used a format (perhaps for floating point, but I don't remember because
it was 25 years ago, blush) where bytes were ordered 0132, or something
like that. I agree though that it is not a current concern.
