It was in a different context (some target where endianess matters
depending on whether you're reading code or something else), but the
reasons are the same.  There's no need for one, and it adds to
user confusion, and IDE complication.  If the remote target needs
to behave differently against some remote stub, that calls 
for the remote end giving gdb enough information for gdb to 
adjust itself automatically.

I can't say I understand why was that being proposed in this case?
What is the patch breaking?
