I don't particularly like unnecessarily slowing down the code for big-endian hosts, even if it isn't a critical path. The only advantage I see is that it shortens the code a tiny bit, but that's only because there is no `read32ne` wrapper for this like `read32[bl]e`... So I would advocate for keeping it as-is, but at the end of the day I'll change it if necessary.
