Subject: [configure] Detect endianess and use mcs for big-endian systems.
X-Git-Url: http://wien.tomnetworks.com/gitweb/?p=mono.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=e06e21e754a2d3de5c97fa3728eb06fbb99062f8

[configure] Detect endianess and use mcs for big-endian systems.

Renames the flag to be more explicit on the intended purpose.  Also,
document the new configuration flag.

The default will probe the right compiler to use.
