Pablo,
How's the IA-64 big-endian port??
I just found the email I sent earlier to the list, but I think IA64
big-endian port has to deal with other issues than the ones I fixed
for the loongson (MIPS EL) port:

Hi,
The most important thing is to find out the differences between Big
Endian Mode IA-64 and Little Endian Mode IA-64 -- not just the byte or
word order, but also find out how things are different when function
call parameters are passed via the stack.
BTW, Linux on Itanium runs in little
Hi,
It would probably require a lot of modifications but its easier than a
full port since most of
the code is there.

Zoltan,
Would you mind sharing with us your thoughts about the things to change
so we can have an idea of what's involved?
As Dick pointed, would we need a hardware manual?
Thanks,

Some things:
- the instruction emission macros need to be changed so they emit in
big-endian
mode. that should be pretty easy.
- other than that, I'm not sure what needs to be changed, I would try
running the runtime
test suites to see what works and what doesn't.
- you probably need to read
