The primary platforms are powerpc32 and powerpc64 which are bigendian.
No attempt has been made to make the PPC code endian neutral and the asm
optimizations are in fact aggressively bigendian. I fact I am surprised
that anyone is interrested in LE powerpc at this time.
Little endian for either 32- or 64-bit or represents a different ABI
that is not interoperable with the current ABI. So as Uli suggests this
support should start off in ports until you have time to resolve all the
issues associated with Little-endian.
