AIX is big endian but: "SUSE's Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) offers SLES 12 on Power in little endian mode only. As such, customers will need to migrate from big to little endian as they upgrade from SLES 11 to SLES 12." - https://developer.ibm.com/articles/l-power-little-endian-faq-trs/ https://developer.ibm.com/articles/l-power-little-endian-faq... > I also really don't understand why people thought it was such a hard concept as to largely force Linux (PPC, arm, mips) toward little. My memory is that it's largely Linus having strong opinions. Ah, yes: "Let's just try to kill big-endian data, it's disgusting and should just die already." https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wisMFiBHT7dLFOtHqX=fEve3JafZjSvbd5cy=MpW4u7zQ@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wisMFiBHT7dLFOtHqX=fEve3J...
