On the c compiler provided with the RISC os for their mips processor, there is an option to toggle between big and little endian. cc (-EL/EB) On our workstations we compile in big endian, and for our engineering platform we compile in little endian. gcc does not apear to have such an option of its command line. There are #defines that you can use, it seems, to say which type of endianness you want, when you build gcc. I realy don't want to have two gcc executables (one for big and one for little endian.) I'd like a command line argument to be able to switch between the two. Is that going to exist in a future gcc release, or is it posible to hack on the code to produce big/little endian as definable by the user? Dan Lambright dan@gordian.com
