Sorry for the dumb question, but in which way is REG_SIZE > 0 or
REG_SIZE < 0 connected to the endianess of the target system?
My understanding is that this only defines how byte wide registers
need to be padded, i. e. wether they are connected to the highest or
to the lowest byte lane. THis has nothing to do with the endianess of
the system, and it appears wrong to me, to imply such a relation here.
Detlev, what do you think?

I think you should rather use an explicit 32 bit data type here;
"int" may be 64 bits on some systems.
