Added it.

It's not deliberate. I'm not seeing "byteorder.h" in uClibc. (There's  
an asm/byteorder.h in the kernel headers...)

   cd uClibc
   $ find . -name byteorder.h
   $ find . -type f | xargs grep byteorder
   ./libc/inet/ntohl.c:#error "You seem to have an unsupported  
byteorder"

You might want to look at musl-libc.org instead, I plan to switch to  
that in the next release or two. (It's much more actively maintained,  
and BSD licensed.)
