Hi,

Some time ago, I ftp'd DEC's Modula-2 compiler from decwrl.
Upon unpacking, I noticed that it contained binaries that, alas, were
supposed to run on a little-endian MIPS machine.
Now we use big-endiannes in our MIPS boxes B-{(
I tried to re-build the compiler from scratch, but it needs some kind of
a pre-processor which is supplied in binary (little-endian) _and_ in
Modula-2 source (for which I need a compiler B-{(

Any hints?

Did anyone ever built that thingy from scratch?
