[wishlist] Building little and big endian versions of the chipdb in parallel

[GyrosGeier]

Right now, Debian still ships the chipdb as an architecture-dependent package, but it seems to be endian dependent only.

It would be cool to have an official interface to build the chipdb separately, with a defined endianness, ideally in a way that can be parallelized, so we can have one big machine compile all of these.

(we do a horrible hack already where we configure multiple times with different parameters, then build all of them with sub-$(MAKE) invocations from a Makefile that is then built with adequate parallelization, but chipdb builds are still surprisingly serial)

The important thing is to have an interface though.

Would an option to override BBASM_ENDIAN_FLAG (in cmake/BBAsm.cmake) work for you? I imagine you are already using -DEXPORT_BBA_FILES.
