I'm just starting to look at a porting project. The board I'll

select it?

When you do "make menuconfig", under "Machine Selection" item, there is
an option called "Generate little endian code". Is this what you are
looking for? This is a config option CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN. This is
defined in arch/mips/Kconfig:
config CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
bool "Generate little endian code"
default y if ACER_PICA_61 || CASIO_E55 || DDB5074 || DDB5476 ||
DDB5477 || MACH_DECSTATION
|| IBM_WORKPAD || LASAT || MIPS_COBALT || MIPS_ITE8172 || MIPS_IVR ||
SOC_AU1X00 || NEC_OSPREY || OLIVETTI_M700 || SNI_RM200_PCI ||
VICTOR_MPC30X || ZAO_CAPCELLA
default n if MIPS_EV64120 || MIPS_EV96100 || MOMENCO_OCELOT ||
MOMENCO_OCELOT_G || SGI_IP22 || SGI_IP27 || SGI_IP32 || TOSHIBA_JMR3927

Some MIPS machines can be configured for either little or big
endian
byte order. These modes require different kernels. Say Y if your
machine is little endian, N if it's a big endian machine.
