Perhaps we should even make -EB and -EL global options
for the assembler, and use some new md function to implement them.
I think this is the way to go.
I'll even volunteer to implement it ...
Do we need a new md function though?
Studying tc-ppc.[ch], set_target_endian seems superfluous.
target_big_endian is initialized to TARGET_BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN in read.c.
Then at the end of md_begin, if !set_target_endian, target_big_endian
gets set to TARGET_BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN again.
(PPC_BIG_ENDIAN == TARGET_BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN).
