It does seem to be a little/big endiannes problem...

I get octave-2.9.2 compiled on Sparc/Solaris 8 with gcc-343 and I am getting two
failures on make check:

FAIL: octave.test/io/load-save.m
FAIL: octave.test/linalg/expm-2.m
# of unexpected failures        2

Octave Output:
error: load: trouble reading binary file `binary.mat'

(I really baffled by this one.)
