[Buildroot] buildroot for armeb, gcc-4.2.1 fails to build

I have seen the exact same problem.  It doesn't matter if you select EABI or
not (the build doesn't complete either way).  I have been unable to build
when selecting "armeb" regardless of what other options I choose.  Little
Endian "arm" builds fine.  I have been trying to look into what might be
going wrong with little success.  I added "--disable-libmudflap" to the GCC
options, and that got me a little further in the build but it still failed
building gcc-final.

As I said, I have built the little endian toolchain with no issues at all.
I have used the little endian toolchain to build a kernel and u-boot
1.2.0which are both big endian.

One idea I had to simplify things is to modify the buildroot so that it
ALWAYS builds the little endian toolchain, but passes -mbig-endian when the
user selects "armeb".  This should greatly reduce the effort required to
test both "arm" and "armeb" since the same method/patches would be used for
both.  Thoughts?
