I'd like to get the libttool-32 testsuite instructions fixed up for the remaining multilib arches. This means specifying the desired LDEMULATIONs for mips and sparc. Sparc looks easy, the only available emulation seems to be elf32_sparc. Mips, however, looks like a can of worms : there are -32 and -n32 builds, and a choice of elf32btsmp or elf32ltsmp (big/little endian). Has anybody got an idiot's guide to matching -32 and -n32 to the emulations ? Do we support both big and little endian mips ?
n32 is sort of like a hybrid 32/64 arch. See: http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/MIPSABIHistory. The only place we do anything with n32 is in MIPS Multilib, which builds for all 3 abi's (o32, n32, and 64). We do support both big-endian and little endian MIPS boxes - SGI's are big-endian, while Cobalt hardware is little-endian.
