../../libnfc/nfc-internal.h:111:5: warning: "_BYTE_ORDER" is not defined
../../libnfc/nfc-internal.h:111:20: warning: "_LITTLE_ENDIAN" is not defined

Please provide any additional information below.
Writting code that is dependant of the byte ordering is a bad idea 
(BUFFER_APPEND_LE macro in nfc-internal.h). The code should be the same for all 
platforms.

Pike)

Regarding libnfc, I will remove this chunk of code : we don't use it.

BTW, it comes from libfreefare and is used there.

I read the link you point, I read the libfreefare code and I don't know what is 
wrong...

I don't understand in libfreefare context how we can provide a better code. 
Little endian is required by some targets...

BTW, I will close this issue. Feel free to reopen one on nfc-tools about 
libfreefare.
