Yes, of course. It makes sense, I just needed the sanity check.
Endian does matter and you have to compensate for every machine you
target. Look for macros for "network byte order", these are big- endian
and when used on a big-endian machine the data falls thru and nothing
is done, but on a little-endian machine the bytes get re- ordered.
Just off hand I don't find any endian macros in avr-gcc.
