Hi
So is there a clever way to "ask" gcc which endianess it's using? I tried to come up with one but failed so far...
I am searching how to do that. How about if the config.mk runs a little test program, like configure does?
For example:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { unsigned int data = 0x01234567; char *ptr = (char *)&data; if (ptr[0] == 0x01 && ptr[1] == 0x23 && ptr[2] == 0x45 && ptr[3] == 0x67) printf("big\n"); else if (ptr[3] == 0x01 && ptr[2] == 0x23 && ptr[1] == 0x45 && ptr[0] == 0x67) printf("little\n"); else printf("unknown\n"); return 0; }
And then check the output of this program and decides to pass the -EL or -EB to LDFLAGS.
Oh, do you know why I have to use the: -Wa,-allow_branch_to_undefined instead of: -Wa,-mips_allow_branch_to_undefined even though (I guess) I use the same patch as you do?
And why don't you accept the patch that eliminates this patch to binutils?
BR, Matej
