Can you show your GENERIC sgimips config? Also show an example of where one would need a platform/endian.h on both powerpc (which is far enough along to discuss this need) and mips (which I think we should wait later until the port is officially in CVS). I have a guess, but I want to make absolutely sure. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
