Yes, that would be what i would expect.

I am not sure i follow here.

Will Apache have to maintain two separate, independent source code trees, for 
different endian-ness ?

That would be a radical departure from the current practices in effect in the 
SFW consolidation.

Currently, only one source tree is maintained for any component, independent of 
endianness. That being the case, endianness must be #ifdef guarded for those 
cases which require it.
