Some things: - the instruction emission macros need to be changed so they emit in big-endian mode. that should be pretty easy. - other than that, I'm not sure what needs to be changed, I would try running the runtime test suites to see what works and what doesn't. - you probably need to read ia64 architecture manual at some point if you run into problems.
