Hi Chao-yi,

I think just about everyone who is working on Linux for SuperH
is doing so in little-endian mode.  So there might be undiscovered
problems with big-endian mode.

I assume that if you're talking about glibc, you want to use
Linux on SuperH, rather than building standalone embedded
programs for the SuperH.  I would recommend against using plain
gcc 2.95.2 for this.  Instead I would suggest one of the following:

 - Using the versions of the toolchain that are stored in
   our CVS repository, and following Stuart Menefy's instructions.

     http://linuxsh.sourceforge.net/docs/getting-source.php3
     http://linuxsh.sourceforge.net/docs/building-source.php3
     
 - Trying the newer toolchain, according to Niibe-san's directions:
