Admittedly host-endian is stupid too, but it's less stupid than being dual. The only sane thing to do is fixed-endianness. I'm sure the m68k people remember being forced to fix their ext2 partitions back in the bad old days. It's painful once, but after that, fixed-endian is a lot more efficient and much simpler to handle. Linus
