@ppcamiga1

My point was that ARM is not designed to be little endian.
So, I wanted to know why he stated it was.
Also, I wanted to know that if this was the biggest problem, and ARM does not have this requirement, why it was not considered.

The whole point of use 32 bit Big Endian cpu is to use old code in C made for Amiga without modification.
On ppc or any other 32 bit Big Endian cpu it is possible to use twenty or more year code in C , just recompile it, and it will work.
Thats why ppc Amiga feel like better Amiga than these made by Commodore.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the problem was not the C code (which is portable / recompilable) but the data (which has reversed bytes). Amiga programs often embed significant amounts of data into their programs instead of reading them from disk the way most modern OS's do. For instance, the RGB data in the images will be mixed up if you read raw data from one endian format to another.

Even that isn't a problem if you have a good JIT, as Apple showed when they moved from PPC to OS X.
