My S390 JIT is almost doing the right thing. Apart from some exception =
handling issues things look pretty good. However, when I run the =
compiler with the JIT the byte ordering is a problem. For example I =
produce:

0000000    4d5a    0000    0600    0000    0400

instead of

0000000    5a4d    0000    0006    0000    0004=20

S390 is big endian. I see there is a BitConverter class that works it =
out but does mcs use this or some other method?
