While the article is rant-y and some details sloppy, I have to admit his core point is pretty good. Rather the writing #ifdef'd code, why not write code that works the same regardless of endianness?
That seems like a good idea. Not for -all- the reasons he mentions, but for the simple reason that it's one code path so easier to code and easier to get right.
