John,
I am a bit baffled with the results from your HP-UX/Itanium tests.
Could you run the attached program on that machine? It is just a single cpp file. It prints the byte patterns of various numbers.
Here we go, HP-UX on itanium:
maddock@td176> aCC -AA -I ~ *.cpp maddock@td176> ./a.out
little endian

The problem is <boost/endian.hpp>. According to <boost/detail/endian.hpp> the platform is little endian. But it is clearly big endian. --Johan
