The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      3087
Logged by:          Michael Witten
Email address:      mfwitten@mit.edu
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3
Operating system:   Mac OS X 10.4.8
Description:        Endiannes, of all things
Details:

I'm in a relatively foul mood, but I'll keep the quips to myself.

I wanted an easy time of it, so I copied a cluster from my PowerBook G4 to
an x86 Linux box.

Lo!
The database cluster was initialized with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 906166272, but
the server was compiled with PG_CONTROL_VERSION 822.

NUXI? yes

Now I have to issues all of these commands and follow all of these protocols
when a simple copy should have done the trick.

For shame....

What is your point?  Complain to your CPU manufacturer if you don't like
how they lay out data in memory.

You, sir, are aptly named.
