Endian attribute in a config. file

Question

I want to run a benchmark by simplescalar, but when I want to run it by this command:

./sim-profile anagram.pisa-big words < anagram.in > OUT

it gives me the following:

fatal: PISA binary `anagram.pisa-big'  has wrong endian format

Somebody told me that I have to do the following:

1. Run ./sim-profile -confugdump config_new.cfg
2. Then write ./sim-profile -confugdump config_new.cfg
3. Change an attribute and change the endian attribute to big-endian

but the problem is that i cant find the attribute that does this thing. After I open this file I have the following:

Their FAQ suggests otherwise. It says:

Q5: Whenever I try to run binaries, I always get the error: "binary endian does not match host endian", what is wrong?

Your binaries are the wrong endian! Either you mis-configured GCC, GAS or GLD, or you grabbed the wrong binary release. Reconfigure the compilers to the opposite endian, or get the other binary release. To determine the endian of your host machine, run "sysprobe -s", located in the SimpleScalar simulator directory.

The file name extension pisa-big suggests that you have big-endian format. Try to get it into pisa-little (or whatever it is called) instead.
