I'll admit to not thinking too much about this when I created these
directories (using find -type d | ...). Is there a reason to *not*
support building glibc little-endian for these processors? Certainly
one reason would be if the cpu doesn't support little-endian, but I
don't have cpu info for them in front of me at the moment to find the
answers.
