[U-Boot-Users] Testing a cross compiler for a mpc8540 cpu

[Ed Okerson]

Use the UNIX command "file" on the output of the compiler.  When I do this
on u-boot I get:

# file u-boot
u-boot: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV), statically
linked, not stripped

This shows that it is a little-endian (LSB) executable for MIPS.
