Have you tried the -I option. Have you tried reading the splint
manual?

Anyway, by looking at byteorder.h it doesn't look like having
much value to splint. For good checking you should probably
write special .h files for these system and/or library
interfaces; remove the technical magic that splint barfs on, and
focus on splint annotations, i.e., #define:s should be annotated
as functions or constants etc.
