Sorry, but there are no little-endian targets currently defined for the
860. You'd have to add such support to the PowerPC tree (look at the
ARM tree and see what the differences are there for big vs little endian
systems)
Why would you want to run a PowerPC in little endian mode anyway? It is
inherently big endian... The only system I ever heard of that tried to
use it in little endian was Windows/NT (*way* back when) and that was
abandoned by around 1996.
