Package: cramfs
Version: 1.1-6
Severity: wishlist
The cramfstools cteares WRONG ENDIANITY filesystem
on the big-endian architectures (i.e. the mips-eb)

However, mkcramfs creates big-endin file imeges in the
big-endian hosts:
big-endian.host$ mkcramfs dir image.cramfs
little-endian.host$ mkcramfs dir image.cramfs
The "mkcramfs" produces DIFFERENT file images.
big-endian.host$ od -ha image.cramfs

There are a lot of patches for the linux kernel :
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.3/0365.html
Access to the constants reworked as :
...
#define CRAMFS_32(x) swab32(x)
...
if (super.magic != CRAMFS_32(CRAMFS_MAGIC))
Another kernel patches (JFYI):
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2003-August/008471.html
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2001-09/msg00259.html
Is it possible to implement endianness-aware cramfs tools like:
