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
