This tidies endian selection. Prior to this change, if you gave a little-endian gcc the -mcall-aixdesc option, gcc would operate big-endian but the assembler in little-endian. Which was confusing to say the least.
The sysv4.h changes below don't actually make any substantive changes in the specs file, except to always add a default endian option to ASM_SPEC. I think that's wise given a bi-endian binutils can be built with either endian default. The linux64.h changes are a little more substantive in order to cure the mixed endian problem. The endian rules are: a) Specify -mbig/-mlittle/-mbig-endian/-mlitte-endian and that's what you get, otherwise, b) specify any of the -mcall options except the -mcall-sysv variants and you get an endian appropriate to the -mcall, mostly big, otherwise c) you get the default endian for your toolchain which depends on configure options. Something to consider for the future is making more of the -mcall options endian agnostic, like -mcall-sysv. Tested with a number of powerpc ELF builds. * config/rs6000/sysv4.h (ENDIAN_SELECT): Define, extracted from (ASM_SPEC): ..here. Emit DEFAULT_ASM_ENDIAN too. (DEFAULT_ASM_ENDIAN): Define. (CC1_SPEC, LINK_TARGET_SPEC): Use ENDIAN_SELECT. * config/rs6000/linux64.h (ASM_SPEC32): Remove endian options. Update -K PIC clause from sysv4.h. (ASM_SPEC_COMMON): Use ENDIAN_SELECT. (LINK_OS_LINUX_EMUL32, LINK_OS_LINUX_EMUL64): Likewise.
