Open MPI doesn't currently support mixed big endian/little endian jobs. In conjunction with a fix for issue #2802, a runtime check to detect the situation where some processes in the job are BE while others are LE would be helpful. Ideally a show help message would be emitted which explains that mixed BE/LE jobs are not currently supported.

Isn't it true that the user would have already had to create separate binaries for the nodes, and so they knowingly violated our level of support? We now pass back to mpirun the local chip architecture, and so we could detect this problem rather easily (assuming mpirun is used to launch the app). No way it would go back to the 2.x series, but we could provide it for v3.x if you really want it.
