[Scratchbox-devel] Re: [Scratchbox-users] Big endian kernel and applications on a IXDP465

[Michael Trimarchi]

Hi all,
    we had a problem compiling the linux kernel using scratchbox for an 
arm big endian target in the qemu-armeb environment. The compilation 
stopped when executing the split-include utility during the kernel 
compilation phase. split-include exited with an error of the stat64 
syscall, executed in the environment emulated by qemu. qemu seemed to 
ignore the fact that in big endian systems the fields st_blocks and its 
padding are swapped (to allow future expansion of the field,) so the fix 
consisted only in swapping the two fields (only in big endian systems, 
of course.)

if someone is interested in a patch we can send it on the list,
regards,

fabio & michael
