PHP 5.2.10 and big endian systems

There is a bug in PHP 5.2.10 which affects big endian systems to display the
wrong year when using

date('Y')

Expected: 2009
Actual: 0000

See php bugzilla: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php

See Gentoo bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278064

The bug don't affect 5.2.9 or earlier, 5.2.11 or 5.3.0.

endian machines.
