Version 3.8.2 requires WORDS_BIGENDIAN Defined or UNdefined correctly now. I think it is a bad thing. I had code that worked on Win, Mac/PPC, MacTel, now the Mac/PPC is broken unless I define WORD_BIGENDIAN to 1 and UNdefine it on Mactel.

Can we get rid of such dependecy?

There are code that uses libtiff but doesn't use the "config" utility.

Libtiff itself has this dependency, but not the public headers which should be used by dependent applications. What header are you including which brings in the WORD_BIGENDIAN requirement?

I am pretty sure that pre-configure libtiff also depended on an endian define, but the name was different.
