Test failure on S390x #280

With the new version 3.6.1, I also implemented to run the tests during the Debian package build. On s390x, which is a bIg endian machine, one test fails:

___________________________ TestTable.test_tableinfo ___________________________

self = <test_table.TestTable testMethod=test_tableinfo>

    def test_tableinfo(self):
        """Test table info."""
        c1 = makescacoldesc("coli", 0)
        c2 = makescacoldesc("cold", 0.)
        c3 = makescacoldesc("cols", "")
        c4 = makescacoldesc("colb", True)
        c5 = makescacoldesc("colc", 0. + 0j)
        c6 = makearrcoldesc("colarr", 0.)
        t = table("ttable.py_tmp.tab1", maketabdesc((c1, c2, c3, c4, c5,
                                                     c6)), ack=False)
[…]
>       self.assertEqual(t.endianformat(), 'little')
E       AssertionError: 'big' != 'little'
E       - big
E       + little

/build/reproducible-path/python-casacore-3.6.1/.pybuild/cpython3_3.13_casacore/build/tests/test_table.py:57: AssertionError

This would trivially to fix by using sys.byteorder instead of the string little. However, can you confirm that on big endian systems the table is really also big endian?
