Problem with ARM toolchain - breaks TCP/IP

[Jay Monkman]

There's a problem in newlib versions before 1.13 that breaks TCP/IP
for ARM. This only affects code in the 4.7 branch in CVS - none of the
4.6.x releases seem to be affected.

In older versions of newlib, the BYTE_ORDER macro is always defined to
be big endian - even if the CPU is little endian. This doesn't seem to
have caused any problems until recently, when
cpukit/libnetworking/machine/endian.h was changed to protect
BYTE_ORDER against double definition. Before, BYTE_ORDER was always
redefined to the correct endian.

This is fixed with newlib-1.13. I tested w/ the CVS HEAD of gcc. 

If you don't want to rebuild the toolchain, a workaround is to modify
   cpukit/libnetworking/machine/endian.h
removing the #ifdef BYTE_ORDER:
