We fixed the MIPS target to little endian, because there is only one MIPS ABI in official NDK for Android: little-endian MIPS32 release 1. NDK scripts are tested with mips-linux-android. (We didn't test mipsel-linux-android targets.) Note that Android software components (ex: google v8, webkit jsc) may be coded for little-endian targets only. If GCC doesn't set the MIPS Android targets to little endian, it will be easy to add a small patch into googlesource in the future. Ex: Add -EL options for compilation/linking. Thanks!
