OK.

Is the library host independent?  That is, does it handle
host vs target endianness, integer types, etc.?  E.g., is a big endian PPC
host debugging against an x86-64 gdbserver able to use libipt?  Another
example would be a big endian PPC host loading an x86-64 core dump that
includes ipt data (once we get to it).

Thanks,
