I have seen that barebox[1] has got support for MIPS some releases ago.
They define the endianess in the config, so it is easier to handle in the
build process.
Also the handling of compiler and linker options is more optimized[2].

Maybe we should take advantage of it and port some of this over to u-boot?
I think the current handling of -EB and -EL is still from Wolfgangs first
port of a MIPS board.

Best Regards,
Thomas

PS: Sorry for sending multiple times, I have problem to suppress base64 
encoding.
   I hope it is okay now.
