Hi Skuribay, Woflgang
can we apply those patch to MIPS-branch first??

[PATCH 1/2] update the MIPS u-boot.lds
I'll push 1/2 to u-boot-mips and request pull later.
[PATCH 2/2] change the way of build little endian board
but this 2/2 looks problematic.
As said in the previous mail the patch is tentative and won't work with ELDK, and as fas as I could see nothing has been changed since my version. Let me make sure, have you confirmed it builds with ELDK?

Hi Shinya
yes, I think it not break the ELDK build.
I have test with BUILD_DIR=../u-boot-build \ MAKEALL_LOGDIR=../u-boot-log \ ./MAKEALL mips_el mips
all boards compile fine.

What about the endianness of generated u-boot ELF image then?
$ CROSS_COMPILE=mips_4KCle- ./MAKEALL dbau1550_el_config $ file u-boot
And could you also provide the version info, please?
$ mips_4KCle-gcc --version

Ah, it's LSB, got it.
As said in the previous mail the patch is tentative and won't work with ELDK, and as fas as I could see nothing has been changed since my version.
So I'm overlooking something, will have to think about it.

Oh, I remember now. The aim of the patch is to make it possible to generate elf images in both Big- and Little-endian, using only either mips_4KC- or mips_4KCle- toolchain:
# CROSS_COMPILE Target Expected endianness ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 mips_4KC- dbau1550_config Big-Endian 2 mips_4KCle- dbau1550_config Big-Endian 3 mips_4KC- dbau1550_el_config Little-Endian 4 mips_4KCle- dbau1550_el_config Little-Endian
And option 2) and 3) may not work when using ELDK.

Hi Shinya
I will try to look into this issue. thanks for the info.
