You can find the definitions of the different endianesses in
/usr/include/endian.h and the actual andianes for the machine in
/usr/include/bits/endian.h.

According to these files, the i386 is little-endian. Most CPUs, if not all
modern non-i386 architecture CPUs, such as the Sparc family, are big-endian
however.
