that's because the target you picked has a config.mk which forces -mbig-endian in arch/arm/cpu/ixp/config.mk. that is the only arm soc that does. i'm pretty sure many of the other arm soc's support either big or little endian and it's just a matter of what the board wants to do. > The issue is with the linker: > > arm-linux-ld -r -o libstubs.o stubs.o > > This fails because the linker does not specify -EB and thus links in > little, not big, endian. that's a failing on the part of ixp/config.mk. it should be adding -EB to the linker flags when it forces -mbig-endian. > Note that further issues may prevent a big-endian build such as the > absence of big-endian run-time libs. there is no run-time libs. only libgcc.a is taken external of u-boot, and that issue is resolved by using the private libgcc. -mike
