To check whether the problem is in the _le64toh() macro as suggested by Victor Stinner, I've tried the attached patch and the problem is gone.

As it turns out, there actually seem to be two problems:

First, HAVE_ENDIAN_H is properly defined, because the correct include file is found, but HAVE_LETOH64 is not defined, even though it exists in the system and is working. Therefore, the macro implementation is used instead.

However, the second problem is that apparently something is wrong about the macro, even though Victor says it looks fine on the paper, because when macro is replaced by a function from glibc like in my patch, it works.

The solution to the first problem, I guess, is to add a proper check to the configure script. I don't have a solution for the second problem.

For the record, the test output with the patch applied:
