Thanks for the patch.

I wonder if there's a simpler way to detect this.
__powerpc seems orthogonal to the goal, since there are little-endian
powerpc machines.
It appears that XLC defines _BIG_ENDIAN on big-endian machines. I
wonder if we should do
#elif defined(_BYTE_ORDER) && defined(_BIG_ENDIAN) && defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
... as today ...
#elif !defined(_BYTE_ORDER) && defined(_BIG_ENDIAN) && !defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
# define SHA1DC_BIGENDIAN
#elif !defined(_BYTE_ORDER) && !defined(_BIG_ENDIAN) && defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
/* little endian. */
#else
...
It also seems to me that Git should enable the #error in the
fallthrough case. The test suite would catch this kind of problem but
it does not seem that everyone runs the test suite, so a compiler
error is more robust. Is there a #define we can set to enable that?
