bncsutil does not compile in Linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The 'configure' script for building on Linux is broken (did it ever work?).
 As such, there is no way to build a version of bncsutil for Linux.

I've tried compilin this under OS X 10.5.6 which would be fairly close to 
linux.  I can try it on my Ubuntu 
machine as well. The main problem here on my OS X machine is that its 64-bit 
and the default compiler 
options are for 32 bit.

A problem here is that libgmp (GNU MP) must be compiled as 64 bit on OS X and 
as such I must compile 
BNCSUtil as 64 bit, which i also did successfully after using the CFLAGS and 
CXXFLAGS "-m64"

I cannot get a test program to compile though, as i get the following message 
from the linker:
Undefined symbols:
  "_bncsutil_debug_message", referenced from:
      _main in ccljODIr.o
ld: symbol(s) not found

This is only after changing mutil.h to reflect the following change:
#if (!defined(BIGENDIAN)) && (!defined(LITTLEENDIAN))
#if MUTIL_CPU_PPC
    #define BIGENDIAN 1
    #define LITTLEENDIAN 0
#elif MUTIL_CPU_X86
    #define LITTLEENDIAN 1
    #define BIGENDIAN 0
#else
    #define MUTIL_CPU_X86 1
    #define LITTLEENDIAN 1
    //#error Unable to determine byte order, define BIGENDIAN or LITTLEENDIAN.
#endif

because the preprocessor cannot determine endianness or cpu type on my OS X 
system.

My compiled OS X binaries are attached for bncsutil.

I am able to compile it just fine on Fedora 23 x86_64.
