That's the endianness of the machine we're compiling QEMU for, not the endianness of the machine we're compiling QEMU on. If for instance you're on x86_64 cross-compiling for PPC then HOST_WORDS_BIGENDIAN is true, but the iasl you use in the build process will be running on a little endian machine. thanks -- PMM
