Coverity is complaining about a constant _expression_ (i.e., an if-statement
which is always true). It's actually a false-positive hit by Coverity - the
if-check is checking the host endianness, and thus is always true on a
little-endian machine, but always false on a big-endian one.

But we can get rid of it by doing the check in a macro, so that's what I'm
going to do.
