[Bug libffi/21782] New: configure: error: unknown endianess

["papadopo at shfj dot cea dot fr" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Hi,

I'm attempting to build gcc 3.3.6 on Solaris 8.

The build process fails, apparently while attempting to configure libffi:

$ setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh
$ mkdir GCC-3.3.6 ; cd GCC-3.3.6 
$ /tmp/gcc-3.3.6/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.3.6
--with-as=/usr/local/binutils/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/local/binutils/bin/ld
[...]
$ gmake bootstrap
[...]
Configuring in sparc-sun-solaris2.8/libffi

configure: error: unknown endianess - sorry
gmake[1]: *** [configure-target-libffi] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/Plocal/GCC-3.3.6'
gmake: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

I'm attempting to build gcc 3.3.6 using GNU binutils 2.16 on Solaris 8 7/01.
