Subject: Are binary sets at the NetBSD-daily site built for little-endian

 From the kernels and installation kernels available at the NetBSD-daily 
site (for example,  
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200801250002Z/evbarm/binary/sets 
) it appears that the binary set is built for the little endian version 
of the arm, and not the big-endian.  Shouldn't there really be two sets 
of binaries, one for big-endian and one for little-endian?  I think the 
difference is including the -a armeb switch during the build process.
 
I understand that the NSLU2 kernels can't be put there because of 
licensing issues, but it would still be easier to put together a working 
NSLU2 if the binaries were available via ftp after building the 
installation kernel locally.

Thanks, Don
