Well, I'm not sure what Microsoft is trying to achieve here either...
It doesn't seem a very good idea to put a standard PE signature on big-endian files, since they are not valid PE files. The current approach makes it possible at some point to support loading little-endian PE files on big-endian machines (which I suspect is what Microsoft is trying to do with that define). If you swap the signature in builtins then you will have no way of knowing whether you need to swap the rest of the header.
Isn't Machine (IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_xxx) field supposed to indicate that?
