Description
fdlibm.h in src/share/native/java/lang/fdlibm/include uses the flag
__LITTLE_ENDIAN instead of the standard _LITTLE_ENDIAN. This should
be changed, as should the Makefile in make/java/fdlibm which is forced
to set the flag.

_LITTLE_ENDIAN is added to the compile line as needed automatically for 
i386 platforms in the  Defs-<platform>.gmk file.
