IIRC I couldn't figure out the magic incantation needed to do it last time I tried. I don't think the "--with-endian=xxx" option is supported for ARM. Possibly the way to do it is to configure for the "armeb-foo-eabi-bar" rather than "arm-foo-eabi-bar" target triplet. Of course you'll still need a big-endian C library, etc... OTOH a quick web-search seems to suggest that building a big-endian ARM cross-compiler might just not be possible with vanilla sources.
