Not yet.  I'll try to do it in the next few days.

Okay, fair enough :)

The little-endian-option test fails with GCC 5.2.0.  The relevant errors
from config.log are:

  gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-target'
  gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mlittle-endian'

I guess the error messages above should be enough.  Let me know if you
want more.

It succeeds with clang 3.6.0.  See below for the relevant excerpts of
config.log.

     Thanks,
       Mark
