You can't from user mode because, as you already noticed, this instruction is privileged. You can't even do it unless you implement your own system call as there is no support for doing it under Solaris.
That little endian mode was designed to allow porting Windows NT to the SPARC architecture, a port which obviously was never released.

Hi all
I know AIX is big-endian machine.But does it read bytes in normal way from LSB.
Does it happen in some machine that at multi-byte integer level it is Little-endian and while reading a single byte it is Big-Endian.
This is urgent

package-appclient
package-appclient(1M) Application Server Utility package-appclient(1M)
NAME
package-appclient - packs the application client container libraries and jar files
SYNOPSIS
package-appclient
Use the package-appclient command to pack the application client container libraries and jar files into an appclient.jar file. The created
file is located at appserver_install_dir/lib/appclient/appclient.jar. The appclient.jar file provides an application client container
package targeted at remote hosts that do not contain a server installation.
The appclient.jar archive contains native code and can be used on a target machine that is of similar architecture as the machine where it
was produced. So, for example, an appclient.jar produced on a Solaris SPARC platform cannot be used on a Windows client machine.
After copying the appclient.jar file to a remote location, unjar it to get a set of libraries and jar files in the appclient directory
After unjarring on the client machine, modify appclient_install_dir/config/asenv.conf (asenv.bat for Windows) as follows:
o set AS_WEBSERVICES_LIB to appclient_install_dir/lib
o set AS_NSS to appclient_install_dir/lib (appclient_install_dirin for Windows)
o set AS_IMQ_LIB to appclient_install_dir/imq/lib
o set AS_INSTALL to appclient_install_dir
o set AS_JAVA to your JDK 1.4 home directory
o set AS_ACC_CONFIG to appclient_install_dir/config/sun-acc.xml
Modify appclient_install_dir/config/sun-acc.xml as follows:
o Ensure the DOCTYPE file references appclient_install_dir/lib/dtds
o Ensure that target-server address attribute refrences the server machine.
o Ensure that target-server port attribute refrences the ORB port on the remote machine.
o Ensure that log-service references a log file; if the user wants to put log messages to a log file.
Modify appclient_install_dir/bin/appclient (appclient.bat for Windows) as follows:
o change token %CONFIG_HOME% to appclient_install_dir/config
