Here is the history on those patches. We developed them because of
the endian issue with the DES source code and sparcs.
In theory for Solaris 7 x86, you should be able to apply the des.h
patch (MINUS the change to the des_cblock) and do not apply the des.c patch.
As I said, in theory. I've heard the phrase "porting from Solaris 2.x to
Solaris 7" several times.
