mash internally uses MurmurHash 3 which is sensitive to the endianess. 
There is a note in the source [1], but no preventive measures are taken. 
I will forward this upstream and might even have a go at this myself.
(In theory this should not be a big issue expect for slightly 
inaccurate/different results.)
