[Bug 1214352] [NEW] GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses

[Björn Michaelsen]

Public bug reported:

On 12.04 LTS precise GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses, causing trouble down the stack in gvfs and LibreOffice (and possibly in lots of obscure bugs elsewhere).
There is a patch available, but as this touches the header, it needs a full recompile of rdepends.
