ia64-linux is little-endian. The -mbig-endian option won't do anything useful
on an ia64-linux system. You probably should have gotten a linker error
message though. I think gcc needs to pass an option to the assembler so
that it can set the big-endian bit in the elf header. Or else emit an
assembler directive to do this.
If you are emitting code for a different OS, and that OS has big-endian
support, and gcc has support for that OS, then -mbig-endian should do something
useful. I do not know of any big-endian IA-64 targets at this time though,
so the big-endian support has never been tested.
Jim
