Hello,

I noticed that when I tried to compile tiff-4.0.0-beta4, the native bit order on 64-bit x86_64 systems was

In the tiff-4.0 source code, I traced the problem to line 16124 of the configure script (or line 327 of configure.ac), where the script checks for i*86* instead of i*86*|x86_64. Unless there is a good reason for the native bit order to be MSB-to-LSB on x86_64, I believe that this is a bug and needs to be corrected so that all Intel and AMD x86 varieties are properly identified as LSB-to-MSB architectures.

Best regards,

Eskandar
