what's the reason for removing this feature?  I taught the interpreter
how to do loads and stores etc of the wrong endianness in a moment of
boredom.  That's probably where this test comes from.  While it is not
the world's most useful feature, I thought it might be useful for
debugging endianness problems when you don't have access to a machine
with that endianness.

Ciao,

Duncan.
