Does libc even support little endian on PPC?

This is a pretty huge patch:

 115 files changed, 44479 insertions(+), 7398 deletions(-)

It seems to include a new platform as well as a bunch of unrelated junk.

I suggest you need to break this down into something more digestible.
Like remove all the junk in the patch.  Then add the support for the new
platform (invader? platform).  Then start looking at little endian.
Unless you do this, it's unlikely anyone here is going to be able to
help.

When you get to the little endian work, you might want to take a look at
this patch series from Ian Munsie:
