[Buildroot] Build instructions for ARM big-endian BE-8 target

[Buildroot] Build instructions for ARM big-endian BE-8 target

[Gopu Subramanian]

I am trying to build big-endian tool chain for ARM v6 architecture (ARM 11MPCore) and it should BE-8 format. In BE-8, instructions should be in little-endian. I want the instructions for BE-8 toolchain.

I hope this helps.

Thanks 
Gopu

Ahh, wasn't aware of the funky BE8 format, but after a bit of
googling around it seems to just be a matter of adding --be8 to the
the TARGET_CFLAGS.

Could you try adding it to line 40 of package/Makefile.in and give it
a try?

Hi,
Right now ARM big endian selection produces a toolchain for ARM big-endian BE-32 target systems. Please provide us the instructions to build ARM big-endian BE-8 system.

Thanks and Regards,
Gopu

BE-32? BE-8? What are you talking about? Please be more specific.

I guess

BE-8 = Big Endian 8 bit instructions
BE-32 = Big Endian 32 bit instructions...

That doesn't make much sense. ARM instructions are 32bit (except for
thumb) and you cannot talk about endianess on byte values.
