MIPS is currently Big Endian only #7190

MIPS is currently only supporting Big Endian, but many modern MIPS devices are little endian, including all Android devices. So there should be some kind of support for setting little-endian for MIPS.

In the future there are probably other platforms with this issue, just to a much smaller degree.

ARM is also bi-endian but we always compile to little-endian.

I'd like this feature too. What needs to get done to make this happen?

Hello folks,

I have made some changes to rust 0.10 added Mipsel architecture and got it working on my little endian MIPS machines but I am new to github and not sure how could I give you a patch if anyone still interested.

I'm pulling a massive triage effort to get us ready for 1.0. As part of this, I'm moving stuff that's wishlist-like to the RFCs repo, as that's where major new things should get discussed/prioritized.

This issue has been moved to the RFCs repo: rust-lang/rfcs#624
