The global.endianness variable makes it possible
to determine current endian mode from command
line or from script on bi-endian capable system.

PowerPC is for sure big endian, but doesn't set CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
so will be erroneously be identified as little endian with this patch.
Either you fix that or depend on something like #if __BYTE_ORDER ==
__LITTLE_ENDIAN

Barebox don't use "__BYTE_ORDER == __*_ENDIAN" solution. 

Please see include/envfs.h:

#ifdef __BAREBOX__
#  ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_LITTLE
#  elif defined __BIG_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_BIG
#  else
#    error "could not determine byte order"
#  endif
#else
#  if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_LITTLE
#  elif __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_BIG
#  else
#    error "could not determine byte order"
#  endif
#endif

Right, then #ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN would be correct.
