Comment (by digitall):

 classilla: Since the Talos II workstation is not that common, I can't
 replicate your issue directly as I don't have access to the hardware.

 However, assuming that you are compiling ScummVM natively with GCC (or
 similar), Endian is detected by the configure script which does this by
 testing the output of a compiled test program. See:
 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/configure#L2198

 The normal output on my x86_64 Linux box which is little endian is:
 <snip>
 Running ScummVM configure...
 Looking for C++ compiler... g++
 ...
 Checking for whether C++ compiler accepts -Wno-pragma-pack... no
 Checking endianness... little
 </snip>

 Can you confirm whether the configure script when run on your machine
 reports as big or little endian? Or is it reporting some kind of error to
 stderr?

 Apart from that, you could try extracting that C++ program and manually
 compiling to compare the output...
