The only issues with big endian Au1xxx is the USB and potentially
PCI.  There have been recent patches posted for USB that could
fix this.  The PCI problem is with the read/write/in/out macros.

Last time I tried (about a month ago using the then current linux-mips
2.6 CVS tree), USB host didn't work neither in big nor little endian
mode on my AMD Pb1000. Ethernet and Serial worked either way.

We've been doing all the 2.6 work on the Db1x boards. The Pb1x need 
an uplift as well, but I don't know if we'll have time to do it.

Great, but I still can't get a running kernel from cvs mips-linux for
a DB1550 board. Is it perhaps the toolchain? I'm using gcc-3.4.1 perhaps
that is too recent. 

Tried mipsel last night and got the same result as big end so I suspect
it may be my compiler/binutils combination. Is there are recommended
toolchain for mips. Should I go build gcc-2.95 and binutils 2.12 ?
