The problem is:
> collectd.h:140:3: #error "Cannot determine byte order"

collectd tries to determine the byte order of the machine it is compiled
for by checking the `BYTE_ORDER' and `BIG_ENDIAN' defines. Apparently at
least one of them isn't defined. Could you check if they're defined in
some header file we don't include? Just do a quick
 $ egrep -r 'BYTE_ORDER|BIG_ENDIAN' /usr/include

If that doesn't yield anything useful, could you search for the `ntohl'
macro/function? Often there's a macro definition that should tell us how
to check for endianess.. The GNU libc, for example, does:
 # if __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
That's basically what collectd does, too.

Regards,
-octo
