Proposed fix

Description of problem:
In test-case 062 there is perl script 

> endian=`perl -MConfig -e 'print substr $Config{byteorder}, 0, 4''
> if [ "$endian" = "4321" ]
> ...
> elif [ "$endian" = "1234" ]
> ...

used to distinguish between little and big endian, but it fails on ppc64 RHEL6.

Output on ppc64 RHEL6
# perl -MConfig -e 'print substr $Config{byteorder}, 0, 4'
8765
# perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config{byteorder}'
87654321

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This patch modifies Tomas' approach to make it a slightly simpler one-line change.
