To support existing large code bases, the goal is to reverse storage
order for all scalars, not just (selected) structs/unions. Also need to
support taking the address of a scalar field

Hi,
To support applications that assume big-endian memory layout on little-
endian systems, I'm considering adding support for reversing the
storage order to GCC. In contrast to the existing scalar storage order
support for structs, the goal is to reverse the storage order for all
memory operation
