Maybe I misread your intent, but to me your exact words imply that there
will never be a big endian arm port.

I don't know if I'm repeating something already known here, but there
is already a big endian arm linux port for the Intel IXP1200

(search for "big endian" in
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/lists/linux-arm/archive.200007
and see

)

I don't know if this affects NetBSD thinking.
