In my tests with the GNU toolchains at least, autotools' endian checks
did succeed.  Whether that will end up with valid binaries, I don't know
since I don't have MIPS hardware to test on.  It also appeared that
the two different compilers (mips and mipsel) had different endianness.

Surely this is a compiler level issue, no?  Is it normal for a single
compiler to produce a MIPS binary that runs in both big and little endian
modes?  I don't have enough MIPS experience to know, but that would be
a surprise to me.
