Drop this ifdef.  It's little endian regardless of what mode the CPU is in.

Are you sure this is correct on all platforms?  E.g. ls1021a?

Looking more closely, the binding has a big-endian property.  It says
the default if that property is absent is native endian, which is
insane.  Fix the binding to say that little endian is the default (this
change shouldn't break any existing trees), and make sure that's what
the code implements.  I think you need val_format_endian_default, not
val_format_endian.
