Re: missing gold --be8 support

Hello, BE8 support in ARMv7 is independent of LTO. In essence the bit-code file will be code-generated into a big-endian object file. To a linker this is no different to an big-endian ELF object file from the command line or a static library. I think that the bit missing from Gold is the endian

missing gold --be8 support

Cisco is trying to use clang/lto on big-endian arm, which apparently requires gold, and gold does not support the --be8 option which is required for ARMv7 big-endian support. Does anyone here care about this? Umesh Kalappa asked about this on the binutils mailing list
