The simplest method is to add the -mbig-endian switch to CC1_SPEC
defiend in gcc/config/arm/arm.h, like this:
#define CC1_SPEC "-mbig-endian"
Note, that you will probably also want to change the defintion of
CPP_ENDIAN_DEFAULT_SPEC to reflect this change.
Also you ought to change the defintion of MULTILIB_DEFAULTS in
gcc/config/arm/linux-elf.h again to reflect this change.
Cheers
Nick

The ARM maintainers might want to think about providing support directly.
Looking at config.sub, it looks like armbe-* and armle-* specifically select
between big and little endian defaults. I did a similar thing with the Powerpc
-- configuring powerpc-eabi selects the big endian as default, and configuring
powerpcle-eabi selects the little endian as default.

Ask David Meng (david.meng@intel.com). He figured out how to build a
big-endian cross compiler for arm-linux and also posted the recipe to the
linux-arm mailing list.
