Since 6547d1c9 (bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions, 2025-04-23) tweaked the way the bswap32/64 macros are defined, on platforms with __builtin_bswap32/64 supported, the bswap32/64 macros are defined even on big endian platforms.

However this file assumes that bswap31/64 are defined ONLY on little endian machines and uses that assumption to redefine ntohl/ntohll macros. The said commit broke t4014-format-patch.sh test, among many others on s390x.

Revert the commit.
