IIRC it changed between older and more recent ARM, at least we have separate configuration options for "BE-8" big-endian mode on ARMv6 and above, and "BE-32" on older ones.
Currently we don't support platforms upstream that get configured as BE-32, but the code is there and I know of people using it.
