Is there a reason for doing so? It should be possible to get this
information from predefined preprocessor macros:

	$ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc -mlittle-endian -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -i arm
	#define __ARMEL__ 1
	#define __ARM_ARCH_5T__ 1
	#define __ARM_PCS 1
	#define __arm__ 1
	#define __ARM_EABI__ 1

	$ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc -mbig-endian -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -i arm
	#define __ARM_ARCH_5T__ 1
	#define __ARMEB__ 1
	#define __ARM_PCS 1
	#define __arm__ 1
	#define __ARM_EABI__ 1

So it should be possible to make the byte order conditional on __ARMEL__
and __ARMEB__ respectively. Alternatively there is __BYTE_ORDER__ which
is defined to __ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__ and __ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN__ for
-mlittle-endian and -mbig-endian respectively.
