Bug#386760: gcc-4.1: Please add big-endian arm (armeb) support
Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-13
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Attached is a patch that makes gcc default to big-endian in case
of an arm*b-*-* target triple. This allows a fully native gcc-4.1
package build on a big-endian ARM platform.
