In my personal code base (git://repo.or.cz/qemu/ar7.git), I had removed lots of TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN some years ago when I started code changes to combine MIPS big and little endian in one executable (still unfinished :-(, sorry). I added a 'bool bigendian' to CPUArchState. Richard, MIPS can be added to your list of architectures which might profit from your proposed changes. Regards, Stefan
