Interesting. I didn't realize PPC and SPARC have added bi-endian capability. > The docs MAY lead some folks to believe that it is possible. I guess the literal answer to OPs question "can a compiler setting change the endianness" is yes, it can. But the endianness of what? Also, gcc documents '-mlittle-endian' under SPARC, but it doesn't seem to work for any version of gcc I've tried: $ gcc -S t.c -m64 -mlittle-endian cc1: error: invalid option `little-endian' Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
