Those operators are not endian-specific. The only time endianness really comes
into play is when reading/writing an integer to/from disk or a communications
pipe (e.g. TCP socket).

Since core JS doesn't include any methods for reading/writing to disk or
sockets, I don't see how endianness could be an issue.
