find_exe() will not work on big-endian systems #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

The code has been written on a x86_64 system.  I don't anticipate any issues 
but please report if the code works on a x86 or PPC system.

I just tested it on a 32bit system and it seems to work just fine.

I'm certain the code won't work on big-endian systems because of the find_exe() 
code.  The PE format is designed for little-endian systems and the fields are 
in little-endian byte-order.  Byte-swapping would need to be done on a 
big-endian system.

I'll change this bug from a task to a defect.  I'm hesitant to bother trying to 
fix the problem since I can't test the fix.
