I hit this bug trying to build a GCC 4.6.2 that defaulted to ARMv7-a

big-endian. Correct code would only be produced if "-mbig-endian" was passed

during linking so that the --be8 flag was passed to the linker, but this meant

that the compiler on my target system defaulted to producing code that didn't

work on the target system -- not pretty.



This particular issue has been fixed in 4.7.3 and later, however:

           * config/arm/bpabi.h (BE8_LINK_SPEC): Set according to

           TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN_DEFAULT.

        Pass -be8 by default for armv7-a when configured big-endian.

Backporting this patch to 4.6.2 means that I now have a compiler that produces

correct code just from appending "eb" to the CPU in the target triplet and

configuring GCC with the correct --with-arch= flag.
