The "static default" of 0 for bits_big_endian is inconsistent with the static default of BFD_ENDIAN_BIG for byte_order ...

+# The bit byte-order has to do just with numbering of bits in debugging symbols
+# and such.  Conceptually, it's quite separate from byte/word byte order.
+v:int:bits_big_endian:::0:(gdbarch->byte_order == BFD_ENDIAN_BIG)::0

.... so I guess this should preferably be:


v:int:bits_big_endian:::1:(gdbarch->byte_order == BFD_ENDIAN_BIG)::0

Otherwise, this patch is OK, but please commit only together with ...

I tested this patch on both Little and Big Endian machine (x86/ppc) without regression.
If this patch is ok I'll post another one for the documentation. Ok to commit?

.... the documentation patch (once that is approved).

Thanks a lot. I reworked and retested the patch on x86 and ppc. I attached both the patch for the source and the documentation.

Eli, is the documentation ok like this ?

ChangeLog Doc:

	* gdbint.texinfo (BITS_BIG_ENDIAN): Rewrite to match
	gdbarch_bits_big_endian.
