I beleive wtc@netscape.com recently checked in code to fix the endian problem on sparc linux. adding wtc@netscape.com to cc. marking fixed.

Yes, I deleted all the offending code in the two copies of mcom_db.h.

Set beppe@netscape.com as qa monitoring contact, thorsten@wurzelausix.cs.uni- sb.de please verify on your end.

presuming thorsten@wurzelausix.cs.uni-sb.de is happy with the fix, marking verified.
