Possible byte-order problems in TeX format files with -rc1

I'm sharing format, pool and base files between a sparc64 (32-bit
userspace) box and an i386 box --- or I was; but between 20021225 and
-rc1, the byte-order independence of these files has broken, even
without NO_DUMP_SHARE; all .base, .fmt. .efmt and .mem files differ
between those platforms now.

This could be due to the hanging instance of NO_FMTBASE_SHARE (which
should be NO_DUMP_SHARE) in config.h, but since I don't have 64-bit
longs on either platform, and the code protected by NO_FMTBASE_SHARE
purports to relate only to 64-bit long platforms, this is probably not
the case.

I'm pulling down the rc2 xdeltas and building rc2 (maybe this was fixed
in web2c-7.4.5), but this is a slow process over my prehistoric net link
so I'll not be able to give more info until later tonight.
