Recently, a target option was added to winebuild, and winebuild code was changed to use this option instead of preprocessor defines. I was wondering if a similar option will be added to winegcc, based on which it would pass the corresponding option to winebuild. When using winegcc to crossbuild wine dlls between different platforms (for instance x86-linux and sparc-solaris) that have different endianess more problems arise, especially related to resources. The resource compiler has --endianess option that caould be used to crosscompile resources, but winebuild always reads resource files as if they were compiled natively, maining --endianess cannot be used to crossbuild. Correct me if I'm wrong. If I want to be able to crossbuild from x86-linux to sparc-solaris, I need to compile resources with big-endianess and have winebuild use the target option to recognize that resource file was compiled with big-endianess and read it as such, and not natively. This is not the case currently. Like I said, winebuild reads the res file using native byteorder and fails to check res header.
