Hi All,
I know toolchain support the target powerpcle-elf. it enable the
little-endian on powerpc. I see that there is -melf32ppc param for ld
in arch/ppc/Makefile. Can I modify it to -melf32lppc? what will occur?
Can kernel suport little-endian on powerpc well?
thanks
Jason

No it does not and its extremely unlikely we will ever support
little-endian, the list of pains this causes is endless.
