Hmmm. Remember that these two platforms have a different byte-ordering too
(assuming you are using a SPARC-based Sun).

No need to muck with the compiler internals. You can define your own versions
of all the base types that have the sizes you desire. That is, in fact, what
you *should* be doing if you want your objects to be the same size on multiple
platforms.
That won't of course solve your 'endian problem...
