Hi folks,

I also share this perspective. AFAICT, m68k virt platform *just*
shipped. Fix this stuff instead of creating more compatibility bloat for
a platform with no new silicon. The risks of making life difficult for
15 minutes for all seven and a half users of that code that only now has
become operational is vastly dwarfed by the good sense to just fix the
mistake. Treat the endian thing as a *bug* rather than a sacred ABI.
Bugs only become sacred if you let them sit for years and large numbers
of people grow to rely on spacebar heating. Otherwise they're just bugs.
This can be fixed.
