No chance it's used to support writing some of the binary file formats
out uniformly across different endians?

Nope. OOo/LibreOffice has its own stuff for all such things, since very long times. The configure 
script is a relatively late addition to OOo/LibreOffice.

Anyway, I noticed that SIZEOF_LONG and WORDS_BIGENDIAN are checked in set_soenv.in to for some rare 
platforms (MIPS, PowerPC, S390x), so I will not remove them from configure.in. I will just bypass 
the failing tests on Windows, and hardcode the correct values (even if not needed as such on 
Windows).
