- Subject: Big-endian Gcc on Intel IA32
Dar Gcc members,
Today we use GCC on PA-RISC a big-endian compiler. We like it a lot. We
would continue to use it in the current and future products at our company
(Stratus computer inc.).
We are now thinking of a platform migration to Intel IA32 platform. As you
all know Intel IA32 is a little endian processor family and GCC and all
other products run in little endian format on IA32. I need to address an
interoperability issue for our customers and big-endian GCC will solve some
part of this problem.
My question to you all is: Is there a big-endian GCC available on IA32?
If available, who is the source of
contact and what is the effort involved here?
Our current product is:
GCC is a native (big endian) compiler hosted and targeted to a
proprietary OS(VOS) on
a commodity (PA-RISC) processor. ELF is the object files.
Proprietary OS (VOS) and
follows mostly standard ABI.
Our future plan is:
Create GCC as a native (big endian) compiler hosted and targeted to
a proprietary OS (VOS) on
a commodity (IA-32) processor. ELF is the object files.
Proprietary OS (VOS) and follows mostly
standard ABI.
I would appreciate any help from you here.
