+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] configure: Detect headers before using them
+
+Current logic does not work when system does not have
+sys/endian.h, since it tried to reuse the cached results
+from first try of detecting htole64 in sys/endian.h which is
+'no' and hence the second try to look into endian.h also
+comes out negative.
+
+So we check for header and then run the test for symbols
+and these symbols are not standard and we need to define _GNU_SOURCE
+for it to work, this issue is exposed by systems using musl e.g.
