Hi,

I am getting below  mentioned error when kernel is trying to mount Big
endian NFS root filesystem.

I am using yocto armeb(big-endian)  toolchain which is having
GCC-7.3.0, glibc-2.26 and Binutils-2.29.

This yocto tool-chain has built with below mentioned arguments.

 "-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=neon"

My target is also  armv7-a and cortex-a9.  I am not sure where exactly
the issue but as per investigation I have  doubt in glibc.  Highly
appreciate

if anyone give some pointer regarding this issue. And I also found
same issue when I used buildroot armeb toolchain with older gcc-4.7
and glibc-2.20 version.
