Barebox don't use "__BYTE_ORDER == __*_ENDIAN" solution. 

Please see include/envfs.h:

#ifdef __BAREBOX__
#  ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_LITTLE
#  elif defined __BIG_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_BIG
#  else
#    error "could not determine byte order"
#  endif
#else
#  if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_LITTLE
#  elif __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
#    define ENVFS_ORDER_BIG
#  else
#    error "could not determine byte order"
#  endif
#endif
