I think, and let me know if i am wrong, that BUILD_ARCH must be whatever is the ARCH of the Host system. If i am right on this then why there is this check inside Makefile.inc1 : if ${MACHINE_ARCH) != ${BUILD_ARCH} .error To cross-build, set TARGET_ARCH. .endif In my case BUILD_ARCH is i386 and as it is supposed to be (?) TARGET_ARCH=arm. -mbig-endian option does not apply to i386 gcc only to arm cross compiler. Best Regards, Stavros.
