mount_smbfs

Some time ago I asked the silly question: 'does mount_smbfs work on
sparc64?'.  The simple answer is 'no.'  The 'make' fails with 

 #error "Macros for Big-Endians are incomplete"

which, to my limited knowledge, says that it ain't gonna compile on a
system like a sparc64.

 However, I have been doing some digging at work, and lo and behold, Mac
OSX has a 'mount_smbfs' command, which leads me to ask this question: 
is the Big-endian/Little-endian thing different between Mac PowerPC
processors [G5]  and sparc64?  If not, is there a way I can beat on the
code to make mount_smbfs compile for sparc64?  IANAP by any stretch of
the imagination, but if someone is willing to guide me, I can certainly
try.  Thanks.

As an aside, currently running 5.4RC3 on an E250 with 2x300MHz
processors without any noticeable problems.
