Hi,

I was wondering what needs to be done to build (at least) a little
endian qemu root file system for MIPS.

Yocto builds this:

ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS64 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

I would need this:

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS64 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

I guess SITEINFO_ENDIANESS (endian-big, endian-little) needs to be
changed to endian-little somewhere.

Can you please point me to where this needs to be done?

... or maybe I'm completely wrong and it needs to be done elsewhere ...

Regards,

Robert
