The -EB/-EL options already exist, but effect only the MIPS backend (they are 
silently ignored for ARM target).  This patch introduces 
-mbig-endian/-mlittle-endian as aliases for them.  The options are:

  [this is really just a restatement of what Tim said earlier]
  1. leave it as it is (possibly removing the tests for -EB/-EL from ARM 
targets)
  2. invert the aliasing (but that would mean otherwise needless changes to the 
MIPS targets)
  3. explicitly fault use of -EL/-EB for ARM targets (doesn't seem worthwhile)

  Personally I vote for 1 with the -EB/-EL tests removed (or left in).
