Linux running on a SPARC will use the same byte order as Solaris running
on a SPARC. Endianness is dependant on the hardware, not the software
(although some screwy architectures can be switched from little-endian
to big-endian somehow).

There are a couple of other problems you may be running into:

1) Intel x86 CPUs are 32-bit, SPARC CPUs are 64-bit. Non-sized types
like 'int' will most likely be different sizes between platforms,
depending on your compiler.

2) structs can contain padding (empty space) between members, and two
different compilers might not use the same padding.

I don't know, I've never used Fortran. In fact, since you're using
Fortran and not C or C++, the two problems I outlined above may not apply
either.
