Yes, I am working on the KS17C4000 from Samsung and I need to produce a big
endian code since Samsung's microcontroller are big endian. I do not know for
the moment if the kernel is able to run on this very processor but I looking at
it. Moreover, since it is a mmuless microcontroller, this will be also treated
in the uclinux-arm mailing list.
But I also want to know if this problem can be solved or it will be a hard work
to do with it ?

Thank you very much.
