Chances are you haven't actually fixed all the endian issues. Once you fix the obvious ones, in a non-trivial application you may very well encounter less obvious ones that are harder to reproduce.


For example, code that accesses the same data as both a word and as individual bytes probably has a lurking endian problem. Another is code that depends on the layout of structures and the alignment of data members.

Some problems that might otherwise be obvious overflow problems can be subtly hidden. For example, if an integer word value isn't particularly large and the bytes are swapped incorrectly, the resulting value may be smaller and you may not notice anything obviously wrong because the incorrect value is till within the valid range.
