XFS runs fine on big endian hardware, that is where it was developed.
This is more likely to be a problem in the gcc code generation on
the xscale. It would not be the first time that xfs has pushed gcc
over the edge. There is a lot of 64 bit stuff inside xfs, and we have
seen gcc get very confused about what is in which register.
