Well, I will say that at least in one place, ipmitool assumes that the
system is little-endian.  When iit goes to print GUID the GUID will come
out looking different whether the host is little or big endian.  Of course
strictly speaking the IPMI format for DUID is not honored by anyone, but
the defacto behavior is the funky representation that DMI calls 'wire
format'.  Based on the 'de facto' behavior ipmitool only looks right if
system is little endian.

Jim,

I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible or why there should be
any problems. Having said that, I assume you're asking about compiler
options/cross-compilation?
