And endianness-handling isn't easy and (on GNAT) isn't on by default.
You can build your own GNAT RTL with XDR support on streaming by
replacing s-stratt.adb with the supplied s-strxdr.adb -- and then
streams Just Work across platforms. Well, all the platforms I'm
interested in.
We need to stream betweem PowerPC and x86, and would much prefer to
work with AdaCore's supplied RTL than one we rebuilt ourselves, so we
shall be using the standard RTL on the deliverable PPC target and a
modified one on the Intel host (we can't use AdaCore's, because it
streams one data type (Wide_Character???) in 4 bytes where the native
code streams in 2).
