I am trying to build a mips cross compiler on a win32 host, i am using
the command line:

./configure --host=i386-go32 --target=mips-ecoff --enable-languages=c --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/dev/c/temp/1

however it returns the following:

checking for CHAR_BIT... yes
checking byte ordering... unknown
configure: error: *** unable to determine endianness
Configure in /dev/c/temp/gcc/gnu/gcc-3.2/gcc failed, exiting.

any help is appreciated.
thanks
