Okay, I was only asking because the ModuleTarget attribute has the OS and arch, the endianness is derived from those right now. Maybe in the future there can be more about the architecture and processor features (e.g. soft vs. hard float).  So mulling over this change and wondering what happens if there is cross linking involve these two platforms.
