sorry, I missed that discussion
You can find a lot more in the list archive.
Do we need this endianess flag stuff at all? Each toolchain that is built with a specific endinaness does not really need the extra setting of -EB/-EL or am I miss something?
True, as far as toolchain-default-endianness build goes.
The Linux/MIPS kernel however is maintained where Big-Endian and Little- -Endian machines can be configured and compiled using a single toolchain, regardless of its default endianness. CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN is exactly for that purpose.
