The test vectors for chunk_mac() are in little-endian, while the function returns the result in host-order. Since the byte order of the result doesn't matter for practical purposes, and avoiding the byte swap is even a performance improvement, I simply fixed the test cases to account for this.
Fixed with the associated commit.

chunk: Fix chunk_mac/hash tests on big-endian systems
Our SipHash-2-4 implementation returns the result in host order, while
the test vectors are little-endian. Use a custom comparison function to
account for this.
Fixes #478.
