Hrm, sorry, but your version is also broken as doing type-punning. The code has to be rewritten completely...

hmm I think you have to explain this. now it works on both little/big endian without any explicit byte moves.
It did not understand what problem you see.
You can't cast from a char pointer to another type (e.g. short) and read the value. This is called "type-punning" and doesn't work properly with the recent GCC (depending on the optimization and code parsing) since it handles strict-aliasing.
See GCC info for details.
