PPC reversed endian support

[Ralf dot Janssen at gmx dot de]

Hi everybody,

I am porting an embedded aplication from the highc compiler
to GCC unter cygwin32.

Thanks to Rob Taylors description, I found in the archive,
I was able to get a working compiler.

But now I encounter problems with the "_Reversed_endian" attribute
the highc compiler offers for variables.

Is there a similar feature for GCC ?
It looks to me quite inefficient to change endianess by SW,
as the PPC has built-in instructions for load/store using
reverse endianess.

Thanks,
Ralf

BTW: Did anybody manage to compile GCC under mingw32 ?
I was able to compile binutils (don't know if it works), but
compiling GCC failed finally with the file "collect2.c"
using unix-functions kill, fork and pipe.
