If you're in "file hacking mode", one thing that's bugged me but I never
fixed is:
mona:~ 1> file /netbsd
/netbsd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS R3000_BE - invalid byte order, version 1 MathCoPro/FPU/MAU Required, statically linked, not stripped
What confused me was this from magdir/elf:
>>18 leshort 8 MIPS R3000_BE - invalid byte order,
>>18 leshort 9 Amdahl - invalid byte order,
>>18 leshort 10 MIPS R3000_LE,
and NetBSD/pmax ELF files have 8 at offset 18. I dunno if changing
"MIPS R3000_BE - invalid byte order," to "MIPS R3000_LE," would break
something else (SGIish?).
Would you like a PR for this?
Simon.
