I have a question about endiness and uclibc. I am trying to build multiple versions of uclibc for MIPS, including big and little endian versions. What I notice is that in Rules.mak there are lines:
CPU_LDFLAGS-$(ARCH_LITTLE_ENDIAN) += -Wl,-EL CPU_LDFLAGS-$(ARCH_BIG_ENDIAN) += -Wl,-EB to add -EL or -EB to linker commands (this seems to be generic for all architectures). What I do not see is any generic (or MIPS specific) code to add -EL or -EB to CPU_CFLAGS (or CPU_FLAGS-y to be exact). I am wondering if there is a specific reason for this? Right now the uclibc build seems to assume that the compiler I am using to build uclibc will always generate the correct endiness without any flags. I want to build big and little endian uclibc's using a single cross compiler that is capable of generating both big and little endian objects given a -EL or a -EB. I know I can work around this by adding -EL or -EB to UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS when building but I am wondering why Rules.mak doesn't have: CPU_CFLAGS-$(ARCH_LITTLE_ENDIAN) += -EL CPU_CFLAGS-$(ARCH_BIG_ENDIAN) += -EB If not for all CPU's, at least for MIPS and other bi-endian architectures. How do other architectures handle building multiple uclibc libraries with different endiness settings?
