Subject: [PATCH 3/7] [HACK] pass endianess flag to LTO linker

We need some way to pass -mbig-endian to the linker during the
LTO link stage, otherwise we get a waning like

arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: arch/arm/lib/clearbit.o: compiled for a big endian system and target is little endian

for each file we link in.

There is probably a better method of passing that flag, I'm just
adding it to a different hack that I added earlier for x86 LTO
here.
