It'd be nice to have a command available to ebuild authors which returned the endianness (big or little endian) of the architecture... so we could do something like: if eisbigendian; then CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DBIGENDIAN" fi or similar rather than doing a switch statement and trying to remember which arch is which endianness...
