Well, what do you expect on a little-endian machine, when you are passing
characters to od in big-endian order?

Yes - try "od --help" to see other display formats.  For example, "od -t
x1" prints hex bytes one at a time, with no endianness issues.  Or try "ls
- -hog | dd conv=swab status=noxfer | od -x", with that dd in the middle
doing a byte-swap.
