FWIW, I can provide big-endian (BE) patches for binutils 2.14 and gcc
3.2.3 which I believe should work, but which I could never test due to
lack of HW. I'd gladly provide them to anyone interested and would
like to get any feedback on them.
The patches aim at getting a toolchain which _defaults_ to BE, rather
than the standard one which merely is _capable_ of generating BE by
throwing some commandline switches.
Regards,
Marius
PS. Before someone reminds me: I _am_ aware of gcc 3.2.3's
deficiencies on ARM, and I have already collected and applied the
fixes neccessary. :-)
