This patch allows to build tests for ppc64 little endian target
(ppc64le) on big and little endian hosts.

We add a new parameter to configure to select the endianness of the
tests (--endian=little or --endian=big).

I have built and tested big and little endian tests on a little
endian host, a big endian host, with kvm_hv and kvm_pr, and on
x86_64 with ppc64 as a TCG target.

By renaming Makefile.ppc64 to Makefile.{little,big} we lose the
'ppc64' information. Since you've defined the ENDIAN config
variable, then how about just doing

ifeq ($(ENDIAN),little)
    CFLAGS = -mlittle-endian
    LDFLAGS = -EL
else
    CFLAGS = -mbig-endian
    LDFLAGS = -EB
endif

Or even just substitute $(ENDIAN) when you want "big"/"little",
such as in the CFLAGS.

I guess this is because cc-option doesn't work well with cross-endian
compiling? Can we fix the function instead? In any case, do we have
drop '-g -Wall and -MMD -MF $(dir $*).$(notdir $*).d' too?

If we default to 'little', then we don't have to worry about the current
architectures using it. Is big the better default for some reason? Also,
as both big and little work on both big and little, then maybe we should
require it to be explicitly added (to make sure the user knows which
they're using).

Looks like a inconsistent whitespace here (should use tabs).

Adding this file is a good idea, we should probably move
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE and LOAD_REG_ADDR here too.

I think we only need RETURN_FROM_BE. B_BE is currently only used
in enter_rtas, where it's fine now, but based on some of David's
comments, I think we may eventually want to change even more
state before the rtas call, which means the BE version will need
the rfid anyway. Thus we can just drop the LE version straight into
enter_rtas, replacing the xor with explicitly setting BE mode.

I'm not sure what we gain by renaming to common_CFLAGS. Doesn't just

%.elf: CFLAGS += $(arch_CFLAGS)

work?

And just

Besides my earlier comment about always needing rfid to prep for the
rtas call (which my FIXUP comment here poorly indicated), then this
looks good to me. Although I'm not sure I like the name RETURN_FROM_BE,
as sometimes we're returning to LE, and sometimes we're not. In the
not case, it's a bit confusing.

Thanks,

I need the LDFLAGS too, so I will rename the file to Makefile.ppc64 and
use the "ifeq".

In fact, my problem here is to always compile the boot_rom in gin endian
mode and the other files using the provided endianness.

So I have to extract all the common flags and add the good endianness
according the file to build.

But I agree, I did a minimalist change (renaming): I can try to extract
flags needed to build boot_rom to not change the common CFLAGS.

This is not true: on old PowerPC machines, using ppc970 (like my
PowerMac G5), the little endian mode doesn't work. It's why I set the
default to big endian.

But I agree: it's a good idea to have it added explicitly to know what
we are using.

Note that this doesn't apply.  I've applied patch 1 though.

Yes, Drew has changed this part, and anyway I have to rework this.

We can't do that because boot_rom.elf is also a .elf, so the both rules
apply and we end up with in the case of boot_rom.elf (and --endian=little):

  CFLAGS += -mlittle-endian -mbig-endian

and it doesn't work. We must overwrite CFLAGS in the case of boot_rom.elf.

But boot_rom.S is a one line of assembly language, we don't need the
other flags, in fact...
