Some people seem to have missed my original heads-up, which was Bcc:'d to
port-mips, port-pmax, port-newsmips.

The Makefiles will be fixed; the directory names will not change. Special
case or not, big-endian and little-endian cannot share MACHINE_ARCH; this
was decided some months ago.

However, the work is not yet done, so much of the source tree does not build
right now because of this.  I shall send another heads-up when the work is
complete.
