Meaning one could easily write tools on a little-endian 16-bit machine to manipulate any ELF compliant big-endian 128-bit binary. If the i386 `brandelf' was failing on an IA-64 binary, then it would be bug that would be easy to fix. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
