This was added as a global only last year following a discussion here. |

It evidently isn't widely-used yet but it could be applicable to any |
| 19 |
binary package supporting big endian systems. More importantly, it has |
| 20 |
been carefully unmasked and forced in various profiles and for that |
| 21 |
reason alone, I think it should stay global. It would be tedious to do |
| 22 |
this for each package. |
