I'm not sure to understand what you are suggesting, in the sense that
I don't think we currently have available built-in macros for what we
need. I know what you mean about the work encouraged by Benjamin,
something like:

2002-08-27  Gabriel Dos Reis  <gdr@integrable-solutions.net>

    * c-common.c (cpp_define_data_format): New function.
    (cb_register_builtins): Call it.

    * doc/cpp.texi (Common Predefined Macros): Document
    __TARGET_BITS_ORDER__, __TARGET_BYTES_ORDER__,
    __TARGET_INT_WORDS_ORDER__, __TARGET_FLOAT_WORDS_ORDER__,
    __TARGET_FLOAT_FORMAT__, __TARGET_USES_VAX_F_FLOAT__,
    __TARGET_USES_VAX_D_FLOAT__, __TARGET_USES_VAX_G_FLOAT__,
    __TARGET_USES_VAX_H_FLOAT__.

but then:

2002-09-21  Richard Henderson  <rth@redhat.com>

    * c-common.c (cpp_define_data_format): Remove __GCC_LITTLE_ENDIAN__,
    __GCC_BIG_ENDIAN__, __TARGET_BITS_ORDER__, __TARGET_BYTES_ORDER__,
    __TARGET_INT_WORDS_ORDER__, __TARGET_FLOAT_WORDS_ORDER__,
    __TARGET_USES_VAX_F_FLOAT__, __TARGET_USES_VAX_D_FLOAT__,
    __TARGET_USES_VAX_G_FLOAT__, __TARGET_USES_VAX_H_FLOAT__.
    * doc/cpp.texi: Don't document them.

So, where is *now* __TARGET_FLOAT_WORDS_ORDER_?

Are you suggesting to re-add you patch?

Paolo.
